Just wondering what light bottom/ heavy top strings folks have found to work best on floyd guitars.

My current Ernie Balls are not holding ground and require more adjustment than usual.
 
Daddario strings have always worked great for me.

Although I really doubt the problem with any guitar’s stability is going to be the strings, particularly well-made mass production strings like Ernie Ball makes. Whatever strings you use, you gotta make sure they’re stretched well and good before they’ll hold tune.

I use Everly B-52's and I abuse the hell out of the Floyd. I love the way they sound and they last a LONG time. Fantastic strings.

I have had them on for a little while...they are stretched....perhaps to the point of fatiguing???
 
A Floyd Music Man should be dead stable. So there is something that needs attention. To case the point, I’ve got two Luke’s (III and IV) with the Floyd, and they never go out of tune. I’m mostly using EB RPS 9-42 which is the OEM for the Luke’s, but also occasionally 9-46 hybrid sets.
