Ernie Ball Slinky (Super, Regular, Power, etc) series strings are really good, as are GHS strings. Fender does make strings called Bullets that have a specially shaped end that is made to fit the tremolo block of a Stratocaster more precisely, supposedly improving intonation and resonance because of more complete contact with the block. Any of these strings, as well as many others, come highly recommended and are used by professional Guitarists and bassists. It really all comes down to personal preference. Try any of these and see which ones suit you best. You might also try various string gauges once you find a brand you like to really explore the differences the strings make in your tone and playing.
Ernie Ball 2223 Super Slinky Nickel are the most well rounded of Ernie Balls guitar strings hence their the top seller of the Ernie Ball Lines. Also MusicNeophyte.com reviewed them and had them #1.

∙ 15y agoWell this mainly depends on what style you play, what tuning you play in, and if you like a thicker, fuller sound or a thinner, less evasive sound.... Me, I prefer Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky strings, because I play thrash metal/death metal but some may prefer other strings. Other good strings for metal are the Blue Steels and the Black Widows.

∙ 15y agoI know the feeling of walking into your local guitar shop and staring acrosse the counter at all of the strings up on the wall wondering which ones to get. For my Fender Squire, there are a couple different brands with which I like playing. However, if I were to recommend only one, I would go with the regular light guage D'Addario XL's. For my acoustic Guitars, I would highly recommend Martin strings.

Ernie Ball super slinkies I heard good things about
D'Addario are cheap and I use them on everything as they sound great
it all depends on what you play, I hate fender super bullets and stay away fro msteel strings , I've heard very good things about DR and Dunlop strings as well.

∙ 13y agoIf it is a classical guitar (usually smaller body, and a "slotted" headstock) you must use nylon strings on it, sold in sets. Steel strings will destroy a classical guitar. If it is a standard guitar (larger body, and ordinary "tuners" on the headstock) it is designed for steel strings. If you are a beginner, you may want to start with "light" gauge strings, but if you already play fairly well, the best tone comes from medium gauge strings. Steel strings are also sold in sets in any music store.

Can you use acoustic guitar strings for acoustic electric?
using acoustic strings on an electric does not damage the guitar. tightening them too tight does. acoustic strings tend to be thicker than electric strings, so all you have to do is just tune lower to avoid putting too much stress on the neck. i just want to know why they use different materials to make them. ============ Answer No the strings are completely different. It would be much harder to play an electric even if for some reason you did put them on. And you definitely don't want to mix the two! ================ I'd be inclined to think that stringing thicker, shorter acoustic strings on an electric guitar would actually damage the electric guitar. It wasn't built to withstand that kind of string tension. The reverse can be done -- using electric strings on an acoustic guitar -- but you won't get a great deal of tone or attack. Great for a very easy-playing acoustic guitar for songwriting and low-volume playing, though.
