String Thread...Not the G-String

[Sp8ctre]

I just ordered a build your own hybrid set from Stringjoy. They should be here next week.

I love this brand of guitar strings. They are a breeze to install, they stretch out more easily and they're guaranteed not to brake.

What do you use? Brand? Gauge?

D'Addario, 9.5.

What type of guitar and music do you play to help us all understand your string choice?

Lead stuff ...mostly like solos. They don't work on all guitars but when they do they are
both slinky like a 9 and more substantial like a 10 at the same time.

If strings are not at least a little slinky feeling I can't do them. I don't like that stiff feeling
where I'm always fighting the guitar.

Also, you are not weird, or WE are - I take my strings off the same for a full string change.
To be honest I only cross one time then whatever though.

On my LP's I sometimes leave the G on to hold the stop-bar then do it last.
