Funniest post Iāve ever seen on Justin forums. We have a feral cat problem in Australia, seriously. Gonna switch to feral catgut strings. Hear them yowl!
I use Elixir strings on my Taylor GS mini, since that is what is recommended by Taylor
I use Martin Lifespan 2.0 treated phosphor bronze on my Martin 000-MMV. I had a Tech put Ernie Balls on the Martin, but I never liked the tone. It may be because the
Martin was setup with custom intonation and filed bone bridge for Martin Strings. I use DāAddarioās on my electrics and my classical (nylon) guitar.I couldnāt have answered this before I started seriously following Justin and making the commitment to change my own strings 
I didnāt vote on this one.
I donāt feel like Iām a string connoisseur.
I do use DāAddario, but Iāve no idea if they are my favorite brand as Iāve just not experimented with different kinds of strings. Perhaps thereās something better that Iām not aware of.
I use DāAddario on both my electrics (10/46) and my acoustics (.011-.052).
They seem fine to me. They last too long. I donāt think Iāve changed them in perhaps a year now. They still sound fine to me. Though I will say when I do put new ones on, the new ones do sound better. But since they grow dull over time, I donāt notice till I put new ones on.
fwiw, I do wipe my strings down after each play time. And I also wash my hands prior to playing. Every time.
If they wouldnāt last so long Iād change them more often. My motivator to R&R them is when one of the strings breaks. Then I replace all of them.
I suppose one of these days, Iāll perhaps have to change them just on general principle if one of them donāt break soonā¦
As for why DāAddario.
They seem popular and are easy to find at the store. Which is good as the music store I go to has two full racks that are head high full of strings. Must be hundreds of varieties. So I just keep it simple. Find my DāAddarioās that are the gauge I want and go buy them. Iām not much of a shopper.
Since I like what I use, I keep my last empty pack and take it to the store with me so I get the same thing Iām using. This just keeps things constant for me.
Dude itās just a simple poll, no overthinking. Have fun 
Too late!
I did!
