youre asking the wrong question. what kind of guitar has the best sustain is what you should be asking. however strings that are tarnished and old will not old a note as long as a new set. ernie ball strings are renouned for their great quality. take it from me though. buy the 10 dollar packs that say "COATED" the 5 dollar ones tarnish in les than a day of full out playing. especially if you play outside hope this helps - Kyse

For most people, 13-56 guage strings would be too heavy for soloing. The only person I know of who actualluy used strings that heavy was Stevie Ray Vaughn, because heavier guage strings give better sustain. He also tuned his guitar down a 1/2 step (to Eb tuning). The sustain is why you use a heavy guage string such as these on a lap steel.
five, or six strings. The four string bass by far the most common
