I found a happy medium. I use the D'Addario 9.5 set. They are just a little thicker than 9s but not a full 10. I use them on all of my guitars. When I bought my CV Tele Custom I am pretty sure they set it up with 10s. I always get them to do a set up before I buy, and a different person did the set up. My normal guy would have automatically put on 9.5s. With the 3 saddle bridge there is a lot less tension on the strings and it make for a nice light feel.
I find it easier to switch from my Strats to my Gibbies with the 9.5s.
The Blues is alright!
