I did something different yesterday: 0.9 , tunned in D(one full step lower). It's perfect for bending and super cool vibrato in Greg Howe's Style. But it looses some sustain...specialy if you don't have compressor.

how can you play with .11???
it kills all your speed doesnt it?
i use .10 and it took me awhile to get used to them
but after all srv was using .11 so maybe i shall start too
