Used 11's before, but too heavy on the fingers. Now I use 10-46 - light.

I have become quite fond of Ernie Balls super slinky .09s. Might be a bad habit, but I find them a bit easier to play, bend etc.

I prefere 010 for legato, but I am thinking of going back to 009 to make bends easier.

I really like Ernie Ball Super Slinky (0.09-0.42). They last way longer and have a nicer sound than any other kind of string i've tried.

One more thing, Challisman.
Since you are already using 009 which should be fine for bending, maybe your action is too low? That also makes bending harder. If you want to use the action really low, maybe you should try 008 (I guess this is the setup from Yngwie Malmsteen) This post has been edited by Gus: Jun 21 2008, 02:14 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
