At the moment, using the strings that came with the Jackson RR3 ..... don't feel like they need a change, so I don't change 'em yet. Besides...... after all the horror stories of the Floyd Rose.... I think I'll wait until my excessive Floyd Rose pyromaniacs snap a string thankyouverymuch.
Once that happens, will swap in D'addarios .009......

As for my Les Pauls.... using GHS Boomers, Zakk Wylde Signatures (what else!).... at 010, 013, 017, DY36, DY52, DY60..... yes. 60s. Freakin' thick..... but could get thicker (at 70!!)

My Crap Strat still uses Ernie Ball .09s..... But once the big upgrade next year, will change them to .10 D'addario.....

Might be tempted to try out Dimebag's signature DR strings one day.... maybe when I get my Razorback....

I tried .11s once.... but didn't find them comfortable bending on the higher strings. The ZWs worked out well because I always chug on the lower end, while "shred" *cough* *cough* on the higher strings.... so I get a nice balance.

I use Slinkies. Don't like my acoustic strings too hard.

Hmmmmmmmm....... maybe we should get a poll going to see if we can do a bulk order on the popular strings. I see D'addarios are quite popular...... Maybe can have a bulk for that...... mmmmmmmmmmm RM10 per pack!!!

I still like the new Dunlops...... once my current pack runs dry, I think I'll order in a box of 10 or 20.
Gotta love the .60s!

But yeah, the .70s are CRAZY......
Zakk uses it on I think 2 guitars...... both drop tuned to BADGBE..... On the early Black Label Society stuff...... especially on Sonic Brew and Stronger Than Death....... the BADGBE rears it's ugly head..... but super cool tone......
Check out No More Tears 2000 and Superterrorizer for the killer tunings.

My .60s are already close to breaking the neck...... and the .70s will just kill it on normal tunings..... IF I get a Gibson Les Paul Standard, the Gibby will be standard tuning on .42-.10.... the LP-100 will be half stepped down, and the LP ZW will be A Full step down....... then I got the complete set!
