Replacement strings

My A string just snapped on me (on a whammy pull? I expected the high e before the A!!), and i dont have a replacement .52 string. Im thinking of going back to .09s so i can dive bomb with more ease. (Get rid of the two highly unstable springs that are in the screw holes)

Suggestions on strings?

Dean Markley Blue Steel's in 9 gauge. or 10s. I love them.

geeez .52 a string? is that even possible??

he must have been playing on the cities electrical cables XD

Ernie Ball .10-.46 Stay in tune forever, and tone never goes away. Whatever you do, don't use D' Addarios. I used them for a week and had to put the EB's back on because the tone just went that quick. Just my opinion though dude. They may work great for others, just not me.

I don't like D'Addarios either man. My V had them for a while and bluhhhhh... They were crisp, but did not sound very lively(they came with the guitar). The Ernie Ball lines are good though ;)

I had Ernie ball Heavy bottom-skinny top. A was .052, low E was .062
They were just too thick and Sounded better for Metal. Im Looking for .009s that have a nice bright tone, but wont snap first time i grab the whammy bar.

9s won't snap... that's just myth honestly, I have broken a string when my guitar is set up properly(and I've gone back and forth from 9s and 10s for a few years) in probably a good 10 string changes. The only time that it snapped was at the bridge on my FR equipped guitar because it had developed quite an edge to the saddle.

geez those are thick strings. why so thick? you dropping to like...bass style? lol

no the low E is 52 and i use them

Ok i have 4 guitars that i want to restring and i want kinda specific sounds for each:

1. very old Italian classical- light gauge with a soft yet bright sound

2. Aria STG fender strat rip off- usually use pink super slinkys but needs something more suited to a jazzy sound

3. round back ovation style steel string - again usually have superslinkys on there but i want something with a softer sound

4. cheap steel string - use it for slapping and popping needs chunky strings with a lot of boom to them

advice please
