Which Guage String do you use?

I use 9's because 8's are to light for me, I snap em' to easy. 10's are a little heavy, so I too think 9's are a happy medium

Although 10's are heavier but they are fun to use. Less than 8's are very loose so I prefer 9's and 10's.

i use both 9 and 8,, 8 is so light and i feel so good while i play on it,very good for bends.
if any one plays a music where u need quick and nice bends i suggest 8, really nice

Now I have never used strings this heavy but I would think that using this gauge string would actually limit what you can play.

I mean I would doubt you could do a 3 fret bend with 12s- perhaps I am wrong but I assume it would be nearly impossible because of the tension of the string.

I use 10s on my semi acoustic, I would use 10s If I downtuned. I would like to think I could play the same with 10s and improve the tone but the ease of the 9s is worth to much to compromise on vibrato, bends or other specialised techniques.
