Strings can be a nightmare :-). Well, maybe not a nightmare, but it can more complicated that it would initially seem. Between all of the different brands, materials, gauges, mixing of guages (heavy bottom/light top, medium bottom/light top), it can be daunting. I bought a set with heavy bottom when I was starting out with my strat by accident and was horrified when I saw the bridge sitting at a very steep angle! I soon figured what went wrong and knew not to make that mistake again. I wondered what happend to the simple days where you just bought a set of 9's or 10's and was done with it :-).

If you stick with a set of nickel wound 9's (9-42) or 10's (10-46) you should be fine.
