I'm still looking for balance, and I'm pretty happy with what I have now.
Instead of just putting same strings on every axe, I find it best to select a suitable set for each guitar.
Thus my Fender scale axes have sets that have .11 bottom end but .9 set top end - great tight chording but easy lead bends.
My Gibby scales seem to work fine with regular .10 set due to shorter scale - the chording is less tight but then again they're different guitars in every way anyhow & it's cool to have a clear difference.
I also keep one guitar strung with 09 superlights in case I want to record some crazy fast passage for instance, and my main studio/recording guitar is strung with .11 heavy set with wound G because when recording you can play again and again until you get it right even with thick strings, and the thickness really makes recorded sound so much clearer and punchier with less drive required.
