I don't think D'Adarrio makes anything heavier than 11's for electrics. I know my local shop doesn't sell anything heavier unless you switch to acoustic strings.


They make sets as heavy as a 13 on top (they refer to them as "Jazz" Strings), and I think you can make up custom sets from individual strings even heavier than that. Your store likely doesn't carry them because sop few people would buy them.


I understand SRV used to play with 13's... I bet he had to seriously modify his strat for that to work. Heck, I had to add extra springs with just 11's

He didn't tune to concert pitch: he tuned down a half-step, which radically reduces string tension.
