Some surprisingly light gauges running about there. Lots of stuff that I don't think you can even commonly find these days? I've not seen much available lighter than a .09-.42.

For whatever reason my little inner circle here in our music scene tend to use heavy strings. My homie Daniel uses .11-.54 in standard and can still pull step and half bends on the G. :hypno: With my stupid caveman grip means I can't really play anything lighter than .10-.52 in standard without constantly sharping chords.

I use heavier gauges for under 440 tuning and depending on scale, but i out of necessity one day put on some 9's on one of my guitars for my daughter and liked it. So my 440 guitars and getting 9-46 (or a 52 for the low E)
