re: What's your favorite guitar strings?

Of all the things that can affect your tone, string brand is probably the last.

I used GHS Boomers for years. Switched to DR pure nickel strings about six months ago. I had heard pure nickel strings cut down slightly on the treble end and last longer.

I don't know that they actually cut down on the treble, but they certainly last longer (wipe them down every day with Fast Fret), so i'm willing to pay a little extra for them.
