What guitar strings are really any good? I've been using Ernie Ball and DiMarzio but I was wondering if there were any other good ones.

Dean Markley Signature Series or the Jimi Hendrix strings. By far the best strings I've ever used, hands down.

I really like Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 10g strings. I use 'em on all my electrics.

For acoustics I REALLY dig the Elixir strings. Whatever that coating is it feels like butter, lol. They sound and feel AWESOME.

Elixir for some reason tends to wear out faster for me, and it tends to chew up skin (I have no idea why, other string brands don't do this). For acoustic I go for silk and steel or whatever thats called.
