Hendrix used a .038" as the low E, apparently.

I use 10`s on my Tele and I do a lot of bending. I find their a good mid range guage for me.

Jon (Schaffer) from Iced Earth uses .013 - .056 strings. He keeps the action pretty high too.

D'addario 10s - used to use Ernie Balls but D'addarios seem brighter, longer lasting and they're a little cheaper.

Been using Ernie Ball, Rock n Roll pure nickel for a few years now, 11 gauge. I think I'm getting ready to graduate to 12s though, bought a few packs of Fender 150JL, pure nickel size 12, thing is, the D is wound. They're not on yet, we'll see, my fingers dont know about it yet.

I used those for a little while when I was sizing down from the 11s. Not a bad set of strings.
