I'd like to try some DR.
Speaking of flatwounds (and guitars), I put a set of Thomastik Infeld flats on my Gretsch G5032C Rancher, but had to swap out strings from another set so as to make it a bumped set (lighter gauge, lighter than some peoples eelectric geetars). I basically wanted to have a flatwound G. Lotsa kajiggering and because they're so light, they're a tuning nightmare. Still, it was a worthwhile experiment, as I found I do like a fully flatwound set.
Would love to hear Bricksnbeatles Hagstrom 8!

I use D'addario Jazz Flat Chromes in extra light (10-48) to reduce some of the brightness on my ESP guitar with EMGs. I absolutely love how that combination sounds. How well flats age is always a plus especially for someone who only plays at home. Might try them on my Telecaster sometime soon.
For everything else I use standard Ernie Ball 10s. No complaints about EB really, which seems to be rare!

Hagstrom H8-II, neck pickup in single coil mode, with the high-cut switch engaged. Just DI’d.
Rhythm guitars are my Les Paul (which has the flatwounds) on the neck pickup (SD Whole Lotta Humbucker) in single coil mode, DI’d. Lead guitar is the LP with the bridge pickup in single coil mode, out of phase and in series with the neck humbucker, tone rolled down, don’t remember what OD pedal, but it’s into a cab sim and DI’d.

Ernie 9-42 and E standard. I'm a 1987 to '92 Ibanez Japan fiend and all I play are vintage RG's setup with butter low action.

I was solely a GHS user for about 15 years. A few years ago, my fiancé bought me some Gibson vintage reissue strings for my new Les Paul and I loved them. Then, I started noticing some QC issues with the last few packs so I switched to Ernie Ball classic slinkies.
