I use Dean Markley, 9-42 gauge

^and mean pretty much the same thing. is there any sort of binding on that thing?

and does anyone know if any companies make flatwound guitar strings? id like to try them.

I use Ernie Ball 10's, sometimes 11's. I don't like 9's, they're too light. 10's and 11's just have more balls. Plus, I don't bend a lot, except vibrato, so I'm at no loss.

I think ernie ball does. But just look around www.musiciansfriend.com if there are some to be bought. They'll be on there. And what is the difference between flatwound and the other kind (the name escapes me but it is what all other strings are)

flatwound strings are (obviously) flat. they dont have the ridges formed by the wrapping.

I have 11s on some spare guitars, but they wear out frets too fast for the amount of playing I do.

So on my main axe, I use 9s, cuz I don't want to refret the guitar every 4 months, which I would be doing if I was using 11s on it due to the amount of playing I do.

my acoustic has 13s and I can bend em no problem.

Daddario 9-46

Hey Guys
I use Fender Super Bullets 3250L, Nickel Plated Steel .009 to .042 electric guitar strings, I find these really good.

Cheers

On my electrics, I've always used GHS 10's. On my acoustics, D'Addario phosphor bronze 13's.

Just got back into Elixirs on my Acoustic custom light Nanoweb usually.
