Al, for better or worse (worse for fret wear) I have very strong hands. Maybe this is why I've never bonded with electric guitar -- the ultra light tension just does not work for me and I need some resistance. Even my T5 has acoustic light strings on it. I also play in several lowered tunings, which leads me toward medium or bluegrass gauge strings to maintain decent playing tension. But I also frequently use light (53-12) too depending on the specific guitar and its use.

I'm about done with this set of White Bronze mediums, so I have to choose the next set to install tomorrow. That will include some nut adjustments for better playability.
