Good strings for a Strat?

[CrashDMB237]

Just broke a string on my Strat and I'm bringing it to the local music store to have my buddy re-string it. What kind of strings should I get? I bought it used so I have no idea what strings were on it beforehand, but I liked them. Either way, what does everyone like on their electric?

you can't go wrong with ernie ball slinky's.

[Haiku Jimi]

Ernie ball's are good, as mentioned above
D'Addarios are good as well

I dont love the custom fender strings. And dont get elixirs for electric.

[DreamingDave]

Fender's strings are great.

ernie balls, chuncky. dont go wimpy and get light gage strings. put some bass strings on there if you have to.

Went with the Ernie Slinky Regular's. Thanks guys :thumbsup

[VanHorneDog]

not enough chunk, you need at least 12s on that bad boy. :D

How bad are the elecric elixirs? Just curious...have never used them.

I love the elixirs, the nano-web tho, not the poly-web

me too, for my acoustic,...I'm curious about the jab on the electrics.

I use Ernie slinky for my Epiphone and Gibson Custom and D'Adarrios for my classical.

I tried the EB in the purple pack (forget the name) but like them so far. I play my acoustics most of the time, and my finger strength is pretty good, and using lighter gauge strings on the electric leads to some bad sounds when playing cords.

I use Elixers with the nanoweb on both acoustics but havn't tried them for my strat. I almost tried them this time, so I am also interested in the negative points of them for electrics.
