After trying Ernie Balls, DAddarios and GHS I have finally found what works best for me. This custom gauge is what I love and the cheapest one available is by Dean Markley. My experience with other brands have not been that amazing because my sweat is very corrosive and I have to change my strings every 40 days or so. These have lasted for more than 2 months. Still going strong. I also use GHS Fast Fret, so the longevity increase can be attributed to that as well. I have stocked up on these!
