I prefer 11s for tone and feel on most of my guitars , but Ive got 13-58s on my Fernandes strat just to try to get that Stevie tone . Btw it rings like an acoustic with those big cables on it .

I use 10s but am considering moving to 9s on long scale guitars. I am beginning to beleive that ligther is actually better for tone, assuming you have good wood.

I' m using light top/heavy bottom on my Gibson SG! (10's-52's).

On the Strat it' s the regular 10's-46's. It' s cool to have differents gauge of
string on each guitar you have.

I also use 11's-52's on my telecaster!

Generally, 10s - either EBMM or GHS - but have 9s on one and 11s on another .... may go to 10s on everything in the future.

Low -> High:
.036 .030 .024 .022w .018 .015, C6 tuning, lap steel. ;)

I used Hybrid Slinkys for many years, but after playing lap steel for a while I find the .09's a bit thin and lacking in tone, so now I use .11's on all my armpit guitars.
