    Listen kids, do …
    Listen kids, do yourselves a favor; go to the guitar store with your Strat. Talk to the guitar Tech about what strings you should be using, and by that I mean string size, not manufacturer. There are many manufacturers of guitar strings, just pick one. I myself like Ernie Ball Slinky strings, but like I said it’s just a personal OPINION. If you’re a newbie, you probably want light strings .009-.042. Then ask him to do a complete set-up on your guitar, about $40.00, and well worth it.
