I currently use Gibson VR 10's on my SG, but once I get my Resurrection it'll be DR Tite-Fit MT-10's. I have used Super Slinky's before but for some reason I broke them a lot more, and I'm not a string-breaker, per-se. On my Dean Evo I have D'Addario EXL110 XL Nickel Regulars.
I change my strings the night before a gig, unless, as someone said, we have back-to-back gigs or something like that. Other than that, I change them every after 15-20 hours or so, sometimes more if I get lazy.
Here's a good question I hope a lot of you can answer: how often do you guys break strings?
When I first started playing, I'd break them often, but now that I have more control, it's far less.
Someone once told me I should change my strings every 8 hours of playing, but I found that to be a little much, unless you're gigging every night or something.
PS - I HATE CHANGING STRINGS! It's a pain in the ass! Boo! The worst is when you break a string while changing them!!! Uggghhhh!
