Been playing a GFI Ultra S10 everyday for 8 months. I haven't changed strings once. They could be the ones it was shipped with in 2006.

What are the best strings to replace them with? Do you all think I'll notice a big difference in tone, playability,etc.?

Thanks,
Dan

You will certainly hear a big difference when you change strings. Please read this old article on the subject:

Actually, the Russ Hicks set uses .0115" for the 3rd string which sounds better than .011" and tunes up with with slightly less pedal travel.
