I’ve tried 11’s on most of my guitars and they sound fine but I get a bit better out of 12’s so all but two of my guitars wear 12’s. Now my Martin DM didn’t really like 12’s but really came to life with 13’s so that’s what it gets. Also my Ibanez sounded great played lightly with 12’s but did not hold up well to strumming at all so I went to 13’s on it and it became deep and robust and a totally different guitar. I’ll never go back to lighter strings on that one. Moral of the story is you just gotta experiment to find a guitar’s happy place.
