Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I need to get some info on guitar strings. It is for an electric guitar. I need to know what brand, size and possibly any other info you can offer. Beginner guitar player. String broke on me. No extras. I prefer Elixirs. They're coated to last longer (preventing corrosion from sweat + dirty and whatnot). They cost more, but they last longer. If your guitar keeps breaking strings you are either playing too hard, tuning too high, or have a burr in the bridge. Play softer, get an electric tuner, and take your guitar to a guitar tech and have them "set up" your guitar and make sure it's properly intonated. Between all that, you should have a wonderfully working guitar. Start with lighter strings ( 9's ) and if the strings feel too "loose" than go up to a higher gauge. If you go up to a higher gauge, get your guitar set up again and reintonanted. Good luck! Saul Slinky's aren't bad strings - they're just not coated. You should have no problems with them at all... just wipe them down with a cloth after every use and they'll be fine. -- Saul Report It * You must be logged into Answers to add comments.
