What's your string brand of choice?

+1 Chad. I don't get the coating craze at all either.

I never did either...but I know myself...when I see 5 dollar strings and 12 dollar strings, my mind automatically says...I need the $12 strings. Perhaps I should just continue to buy what I like...the DRs have been working great for me for the last 5 years now.

Thanks fellas

Yes...I bought them a few months ago, and don't know how the hell I played guitar with anything other than 'grip' type picks for all those years before. There are a few others I could recommend....one that stands out in my mind, which absolutely rival the Dunlops, are the Snarly Dogs...Guitar Center carries them. They're as good, if not better than the Dunlops.
Glad you mentioned it.

Now..if someone would just reply to my comments on coated vs. non-coated, I'd be all set. Just need a couple opinions...that's all

I've got some Snarling Dogs Brain picks as well and they're cool, too.

However-

I don't like the fact that the SD picks don't come in a heavier size (>1.0mm) and the fact that the edges on them aren't tumbled like the Max Grips are. The tumbled-edges vs. non-tumbled edge thing is important to me, as I don't wanna waste time breaking my picks. The Max Grips work right out of the bag and play great no matter the gauge, which is something I can't necessarily say about the Brain picks.

As far as the coated vs. not-coated string thing, both are cool. I don't have a preference.

GHS Boomers are what I've always used. 10-46. I've tried a few others but always end up back with GHS.

HOLY BATMAN, that's one hell of a thread brought up from the gutters...

Anyway, DEE ARR!

Oh yeah? DR sent me four free sets after I stumbled on a few bad packs from my music store.
