    I want to try 11's but the supplier I have doesn't offer them in their cheap brand. So 10's.
    I put 9's on one to counteract a neck that's too thin for me to get a good grip for bending. Seems better now.

    It would appear I'm the only one who answered 12s in the poll
    Currently rocking Earnie Ball 12-56 on my Jackson RR3 tuned to drop C, I was thinking about dropping back down a gauge to 11-54s though. I'll see what sort of mood I'm in next time I buy strings.
    My gear:

    Jackson RR3
    ESP/LTD M-200 - For Sale PM for details
    Monterey Stage Series Strat copy

    Ibanez TBX150H Head + Cab

    I use 30s and I use a bench vise for a capo.

    Naw, I use 10s.

    Just went to 10s from 9s. Find I get a better - thicker tone. Also the electric guitar plays louder acoustically which is nice for those sitting on the couch noodling moments.
    Amps:Crate V50, Line6 Flextone, Vox VT15.
    Guitars: Dean EVO Special, Fender Strat, Blueridge Acoustic, Dean Bass.
    Effects: Line6 DM4 Distortion Modeller.
