Why not shop around for a different guitar, or take your current one to the music store and tell them about it's lack of tone? Even if you want to stick with your current higher gauge strings, it will sound a billion times better through a guitar that sounds good no matter what gauge strings are on it. Just my two cents, hope you look into it.

Its not horribly bad tone its just not good either, the LTD I use is one of the lowest range LTD's and yeah I'm saving for a new guitar as we speak :p
