To defend Mickey, I'll say that I use Elixir 9's. However, that's on a 25.5" scale guitar. On smaller scale guitars (like the Taylor, which is a similar scale to a Lester) I'll use 10's. It's about being able to bend the strings without getting carpal tunnel

So what's this now - the fatter your strings are the bigger your manhood is? Gimme a break!

Regarding the Elixirs, I haven't been impressed with their acoustic strings. I've heard from a lot of people (and had the experience myself) that they break way more often than they should. Luckily, the electric Elixirs don't have the same malady. Give em a try Mickey, you'll like em - no matter how many times you wrap em around the post

I believe tone is in your fingers a lot more than it is in a set of strings (of any thickness). And I don't use Slinkys, I use Elixirs

You can send me a box of them kthx.

Buying a thickass set of strings because you *think* it gives better tone is kinda like the 50 year-old bald guy who buys the Corvette - it's all about compensating for *short*comings. MUHAHAHAHAHA!!
