    That`s a very good way to get a strong hand
    Can`t get good tone with a dead wiener hand

      I use hybrids almost exclusively, perhaps a 10-52 set every once in a while.

        I use 9's on all my Starts and Superstarts, but on a Paul I would use 10's.

          I've been using 9s since 1968.

            10s on all my guitars.

                I use 9's on the majority of my Les Pauls. I also use 10's and 11's. I'm not real particular about strings.

                  It seems rediculous when anybody says "Thick strings = good tone" or something we've all seen contradicted a billion times.

                      Thick strings don't equal good tone. They equal better tone. If someone has amazing tones with a set of 9's, just imagine how much better their tone could be if they use 11's.

                        I use 9-46 for "E" tuning, and 10-52 for "D". No big deal.

                        Macho proclamations of thick this-and-that are just latent "sword fights" for some.

                          11-48 is my favorite- I definitely notice an improvement in tone over 10's. However, when you go much heavier than that it seems the improvement diminishes and isn't worth the added playing difficulty.

                          Also, I could very well be wrong, but I think that 11's and 12's are only considered light or medium when used on acoustics.

                            Yeah. I use 13's on acoustics and they don't feel heavy to me.

                              9-46 gives me the best balance of thick tone on the bottom and SRV bendiness on top. I bend every third note, so I don't like 10's as much for that. And I've never heard a difference between the two.

                              I'm completely with Jolly on this one!

                                I also have mostly used a hybrid 46 to 09 on LPs, but recently have liked straight 10s quite a bit. It takes my wimpy fingers a little getting used to after tossing around the nines for awhile, but sounds pretty good.
