For Fender acoustic guitars, the fender 80/20 strings gives great, projecting tone and bell-like sustain. They are loud strings with loads of clarity. These strings are the best choice for band situations using a Fender acoustic guitar.
Phosphor Bronze strings give a rich, warm tone and complex harmonics. If you are a songwriter or singer doing solo performances, these strings are for you.
Fender Dura-Tone strings is a great all-around string and has a treatment applied to the strings the prevents tone-killing grime and corrosion.
Electric Guitars
If you play blues, jazz or classic rock, pure nickel-plated strings give you a smooth feel and reduced finger noise. Nickel-plated strings have a rich, warm tone and tons of great harmonics.
If you need more cut through such as when playing rock and other styles of music, you should use nickel-plated-steel strings since they have both high output and the dynamic sound of steel while maintaining the smooth feel of nickel.
We can't leave the hard rock and heavy metal players out so there are stainless steel strings with high output and aggressive tones. These players are tough on strings and stainless steel strings gives them the longest lifespan.
Bass Guitars

Nickel-Plated bass strings have both the high output and dynamic sound of steel and the smooth feel of nickel. Nickel-plated bass strings are the best choice for rock, funk and other styles.
Nickel-Plated Steel strings give you the same benefits of the nickel-plated strings mentioned above and have taper wound E and B strings provide enhanced sustain and intonation.
For the Heavy Metal Bass Players, stainless steel bass strings have a high output and a growling midrange with deep lows and high-end clarity. These strings are the best choice for hard rock, metal and slap-styles.

Gibson Eric Clapton Beano Les Paul Aged/ Signed
Eric Clapton's original 1960 Les Paul Standard is legendary for not one, but several significant reasons. Clapton's playing on John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers' Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton album of 1966 (forever after known as "The Beano Album" because Clapton himself was reading a Beano comic book in the LP's cover photo) is seminal blues-rock - searing, dynamic and ferocious. While anonymous street artists famously scrawled "Clapton is God" on the walls and train stations of London, the virtuosic ex-Yardbird brought the mighty sunburst Les Paul roaring back to popular music. One listen to the creamy, yet biting snarl of Clapton's playing on tracks like "Hideaway," "Double Crossin' Time," or "Key to Love," and countless guitarists the world over were instantly turned on to the power of this rare, and previously underappreciated, Gibson solidbody electric guitar. Virtually overnight, the single-cutawayLes Paul (deleted from the Gibson catalogue after 1960 and redesigned to the double-cutaway SG body shape) was a "must-have" for any serious guitarist who wanted to make their mark on music - leaving a lasting impact on the history of rock and blues.

Fender CS Stevie Ray Vaughan "Lenny"
Stevie Ray Vaughn was not yet a star on his 26th birthday, Oct. 3, 1980, when his wife, Lenora "Lenny" Vaughan, gave him a used Stratocaster guitar that had recently caught his eye in an Austin, Texas, pawnshop. Though already a phenomenal guitarist, many still viewed him as "Jimmy Vaughan´s little brother", which was perfectly OK with the easygoing young musician.
Vaughan was thrilled and sometimes at night, as Lenora slept, her husband wrote a new song on it. In the morning, Lenora remembers, "He was sitting on the edge of the bed with the guitar and said, "Listen to this". He played her the song he had written that night, "Lenny" and she cried.
Replica of SRV´s legendary "Lenny", a refinished 1965 maple-neck Fender Stratocaster with a rosewood fingerboardand the original pickups; SRV received a new guitar neck with a maple fingerboard as a gift from his friend, ZZ Top guitarist Billy F Gibbons.
