on my acoustics, I like to use John Pearse Slightly Light Guage Bronze Wound. right now on my Les Paul, I have D'Addario Nickel Wound 10's. but I'm thinking of maybe using ghs CL's. they are a hybred set. 9's and 10's mixed. I have them on one of my Gretsch's.

New and worth the wait...Tone Rockets by Stringdogs. An offshoot from Reverend Guitars President Joe Naylor. Stringdogs products have since been sold to a Reverend disciple, but the quality remains...

I've stuck with 10 thru 46's for well over 30+ years-any lighter and I will overstretch my bends. I got a good supply of Ernie Ball strings for a Christmas gift and I'm happy with them.
