Going to gitcentur today, and am gonna get some strings. What should I get?

I want "bell like tones" with chime, and a smooth feel, and long life.


Yea, I haven't bought strings in SO long.

Fender string are the best, I've had mine on my guitar for 9 months. Also what kind of guitar do you have. Also I clean my strings after every time I play them, so, yah.

A strat. 50's classic vibe.

Elixirs all day, son. They last through my corrosive shit-sweat for 6 months or more and still sound pretty much like the day they came out of the package.

Some people don't like the way the coated strings feel, but I actually prefer it.

Yea, I had an acoustic with elixirs on a LONG time ago, and they felt great.

DR highbeams all day erry day.

yeppers!

DR Tite Fit sound very full and chimey.

Sound and feel brand new forever! Best I've tried and available in a good variety of gauges.

EDIT: haven't tried the Highbeams but I'm sure DR anything is a safe bet..

i'm really surprised nobody's said D'Addarios...i don't care for them, but they seem to be the consensus among many types of players for tone/chime/hi-fi sound. i'm starting to look around; i'm liking the GHS Boomers i just put on the Tokai Les Paul Special.

I really like DR Pure Blues.

I hate D'Addarios, just hate em......they always break.

I put some of the new coated ernie ball slinkies on my strat and now that I am used to them I love em, they seem to be holding up well and the feel is good. All I play is ernie ball on everything.

I tried D'Addarios because they had a uniquely gauged set I liked but they started feeling "tacky" and "old" within a week, maybe a bad batch? I don't know, it wasn't a good first experience so back to the DRs.

I like them too, but I don't consider them very chimey. They are very warm to my ears, which is why I like them on brighter guitars like my strat.

Super Slinkys.

D'Addario seems pretty unpopular around hurr, but I've actually had no issues with them and I've been using them for quite awhile.

Hearing a lot of good things about DR from the trusted ILF brethren though, may have to try them out.
