So I see a lot of topics on electronics and custom modifications and all that, but I don't see a recent topic on strings. They're the source of the sound! There's all kinds of strings nowadays, and they make a remarkable difference to tone, and even to the way your guitar feels.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your standard full-round Slinkys or whatnot. Sometimes those are the best strings for your tone. But if you're looking to warm up your tone, or soften the sound of your pick-attack, have you tried half-rounds, pure nickels, or chromes?
I typically use D'Addario half-rounds at 10 gauge if I want to sound my best, and use full-rounds for practicing on.
Jerry allegedly played "Vinci" brand strings, but they're not in business no more. So to the Jerry-tone seekers: What strings do you prefer? What gauge for your guitar?
