In light of recent events, lets make a list of trustworthy manufacturers of guitar strings. Bonus points if they are from a full democracy according to the Economists democracy index. I'll start with:
-Ibanez (Japan)
-Rotosound (UK)

Elixir for coated strings. Stringjoy for non-coated.

I’m in love with my latest sets from Stringjoy.

Elixir has been my string for decades, though lately I’ve been going back to GHS which is what I used when I first started playing.

Stringjoy has been the most economic way to get great strings for me. Absolutely love them.

Same! They’re fun to play and the ones I got feel like they encourage precision. So light, great tone.
