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

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.

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:
