    i started off with 9s but got tired of breaking them all the time so i went up a gauge....stupid heavy right hand lol...

    It was always 11's every time I read something over the years.

    Who plays 9's? Yikes.....

    10's are borderline for me, usually heavy bottom 10's. And if it's a wrap around tail piece then it needs to be 11's.

    Page played 8s


    I've went from 10s to 10.5s to 11s in the last year or so. Really love the pushback from my strings

    Page was just to strung out on booze and drugs to be able to bend anything larger....
