lol.

11s on a Telecaster was WAY too much for me... And my Tele has a Jazzmaster bridge and no trees on the stock

And we know that real girls use light strings and eyeliner

light strings maybe. . . which i've never done. i've been a 10's dude for days.

They feel perfect to me. I've been playing 25.5" scale guitars with 11s for around 5 years now. I'm a very sloppy player so the added tension really helps me to stay remotely in tune.

i always preferred 10's on my strats. . . 11's seemed too stiff, but to each his own.

Yeah I gotta agree with Dots there. 10s on Strats feels right for the guitar, especially if the trem is unblocked. Where as 11s on a Tele are totally right, especially with a fat bottom.

DR blues compression wound 11's on everything. D'addario EXP 13's on acoustic...

I don't own a Strat, so I can't comment on gauge for them. but 11s on my Telecasters has always been my comfort zone. I don't mind 11s on my Mustang but I will definitely try 12s, it's worth seeing what it is like.

Shit, I didn't even know guitar strings came in that gauge. I thought they stopped at 13.

14's must feel like this:
