I started with Lights (.09's) on my Gibson and recently started to find 9's were too floppy & sloppy. I bumped up to 10's this last set and I'm loving it. I am glad I started with the 9's to build up with, though and if I played a longer scale length I probably would have stuck with them.

Conversely, I religiously played mediums (.13's) on my acoustic for 10 years and just bumped them down to 11's. I picked up my acoustic for a change of pace the other day and just found it way too stiff after getting so used to the light action on my electric.

Ch ch changes....
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
