11-48's on all 3 guitars.

I found that going up in string gauge stabalizes floating knife edge type bridges and prevents that horrible gargling noise when you hit a string hard.

It also makes the bridge more stabile for palm muting and the tone goes way up with heavier gauge strings.

11's still let me do big bends but not over bend or have that annoying over exagerated vibrato the hair bands had in the 80's. :rolleyes:
