    I use 11's but I might move up to 12's. Higher guages mean better taps.

    ...tens, here.

    but...i have noticed that several players i really admire for their agility use nines. they are definitely not missing anything in the tone department. i have been wondering for a couple of years now if i ought to consider making the switch to the lighter gauge.

    I use 11's right now, but here's a question for you guys. Do you tend to use the same gauge on both electric and acoustic?

    I find the 11 guage acoustic strings a bit weak sounding. I've just started to use D'Adarrio EXP 11's .012-.053 on my Larrivee and really like the results.
