Who's using .10 gauge strings on his axe?

[Cygnus X1]

I've never really heard of anybody only using .10's on their guitars..Man, that's gotta sound bright!

.1's would be incredibly heavy, that's close to a 1/8" (.125).
Talk about telephone line wires!

(I saw it too, and let it pass).

I'm using 10-46 on my Soloist Pro standard. I like the feel of them, they don't feel too stiff for bending notes and such. I'm also using 10-52 for my KV3 which is tuned to D (I used to use 11-50. I like the 10-52 better.)

The soloist came with 9s on it, but it just felt a little too noodley for me.

I find it odd pretty much every trem guitar out there comes stock with 9's. Almost nobody uses them, at least anyone playing any harder rock or metal. I tried a set and went back to 10's after two days.

I used to have .10 tuned to E standard on all my guitars, but now my main players have .09 tuned to E standard... just got tired of fighting the strings on bends, and vibrato on top of bends. Especially now that I am doing a lot of Marty Friedman - esque Pre-bend --> bend down --> bend up phrasing.

I definitely prefer the sound of .10s... but my callouses can't take the abuse.

Anything down-tuned, I use gauge 11s. The lowest I tune to is C# standard.

Only exception is my YJM strat.... tuned to Eb standard with .08 YJM sig strings.

I use .10 46 in short scale guitars in standard tunning.

Slinky Hybrid is all I ever use....10 on the bottom and .52 on top...If it gets too hard to bend then increase your finger strength

I would go for thicker if I ever deceide to go down

I'd suggest if you do decide to go down, that you start out thinner. I saw a movie where where a chick went down for her first time on a thick one and it looked like it really hurt her jaw

[Special K]

10-46 Boomers in both of my Fusions...

[FunkyApocalypse]

I do, sir.

[icy_tower]

I use hybrid 10-52 on my dx10d and jrr94 in standard e or drop d.

[Maximum_Crunch]

I use 11's standard tune and they are starting to feel loose. I should lay off the protein shakes.

[guywithjackson]

10's on all my trem guitars
11's on my fixed bridge guitars.
All standard E tuning.
