re: What picks and strings do you use?

D'Addario Phosphor Bronze on my acoustics. I like the mediums for my Breedlove that stays tuned to Open G. I also have an old beater acoustic that stays in standard E with lights on it.

As for electrics, I tend to just roll with Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt. I am actually waiting to pick up my uncle's Squire Strat to keep in Open G, so I'm sure I'll try some heavier strings on it.
