10's or 11's? I have Gibson Vintage Reissue 10's, D'Addario 10EXL's and Ernie Ball Pure Nickel 10's and Nickel Wound Power Slinky 11's.

As a rough guide, top wrapped 10s will feel like 9s and too wrapped 11s will feel like 10s - more or less. It’s your choice. :hank

I just tried Pyramid Classic 10's on a Strat. Glad I didn't put these on my R7, I will definitely try 11's on it. I like the feel but round core 10's feel like 9's.
