I have the .009 on my Strat when it was set up. Now, after changing to the .010, I like it much better! Better sustain in all pick-up switch settings.

Hello,
This is my first post, started playing /taking lessons in January. One of my bucket list things to do. Anyway I started with a Takamine Accuostic, which I am very happy with. But I just won an auction for a MIM Strat, Nice guitar, but poorly set-up. So now I am having it set up a my local guitar store. Just curious what weight strings people are using on their strats. Thanks

9-42s are the standard size for Strats...Fender sells the Bullet strings that supposedly works better with the Strat Tremelo but I haven't really noticed a difference...
