Hey Marty, I wanted to ask you on how you think the different string guages affect your playing ability. It's always on my mind but I always use 9's now since I love to easily bend the strings. I used to use 10-52s but they seem to heavy to use for lead playing. Did you always use 10-52's for your leads? And after playing with this guage for so long, does it ever affect your playing? ^-' thx
