Ernie Balls and Daddarios are pretty much standard!.
I'd go with some 9 guage Ernie Ball Strings for now, just so you can get playing again!.

The higher number guage, the thicker the string is!. Thicker strings are harder to press down, but sound warmer and more mellow!. also, thicker strings are harder to bend, but it takes less bending to raise the note, so it's sort of a trade off!.

But for now, try 9 guages!. Your Strat probably came with 9 guage strings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

dude if your asking this Q you might as well put some Ernie's Ball's on it for awhile and save some money, when you get proficient at changing strings, which you will, if you change your strings as your suppose to, I do all of mine every 3to6 mo's weather they need it or not, however I don't play a squire,and haven't broke an E in a long time, but I use Elixir Nano's on the acoustic and Dadderios flat wounds on the electric, maybe try some Dunlop flats next time I string it, heard they were a local co!. gotta give em a shot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What i did the first time mine broke, was bring it to the local guitar shop!.!.!. they helped me out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

D'addario strings are good!.

The gauge you're on is probably ten!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
