Best strings for a Danelectro 12 string
I have a Danelectro 12 string and am wondering which brands people prefer for strings.

I'm not particular about brand, D'Addario and Ernie Ball I use interchangeably. I take a standard set of 10s and swap out the top strings for 009" and .011".

I prefer flats on a 12-string and would recommend Pyamids.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

D'Addarios
And then I swap out the .08 G octave for a .10 instead.

Re: Best strings for a Danelectro 12 string
The D'Addario 12-string .10 set has been performing well for me on most of my electric 12's. Easy to find, affordable, and they sound just as good as most of the more expensive sets I've tried out.
Been meaning to go flatwound on one to try it out- just haven't made it there yet.

Don't have a Dano but I do have a Burns Double Six - and I use Rotosound double six regular. Sounds great so never felt the need to change to something else.
