i usually put on whatever phosphor bronzes are the cheapest, i like them more than anything... every once in a while i spring for some EXP mediums and leave them on for a month or 2, then switch back to phosphor bronze lights... i feel like a guitar god for about 2 days after switching back, going down in gauge makes everything feel sooo much easier

isn't it bad for your guitar to continuously switch gauges? i'm not 100% sure, but i thought your guitar had to be set-up a certain way for different gauges...please correct me if i'm wrong

i'm sure the guitar doesn't appreciate it.

Im not the richest guitarist....so when i go into the music store to buy strings i go for the cheapest thing on the rack. They sound great and are fairly durable once you get used to them. D'Addario EJ16 Phosphor Bornze light.

I like anything Phosphor/Bronze in a Medium! Whatever I fell like getting at the time is what I buy! I have D'Addario EJ17's right now. I'm feeling the Martin SP Mediums next!

Yeah, I definitely agree with just about everyone on here. The Phosphor Bronze in whatever brand you like are best, I think. I play Martin SP lights and like them a lot. Where I live, I can pick them up cheap, too.

D'addario EXP's, Extra Light...their the smoothest I've found and I really don't mind paying a little extra for the huge difference in quality form cheaper srings.
