Anyone use 11's?

I'm thinking of going from 10 to 11 (my guitar tech says he likes them)
I play acoustic and like to play finger style and when using a pick I use a heavy pick (like the tone better)

What are some issues those of you using 11's have? (I know about readjusting the rod, my tech guy will do that for me)

Thanks!

No issues using 11s at all, though when you first switch to them, bends may be hard to do initially. Unless you find staying in tune and never breaking strings (at least I haven't with 11s) an issue...

I'm so there then.

Funny, but I used to think playing my Taylor hard and electric guitar way easy, so much the problem was fine control. But I bought a Cort Semi-Hollow with flatwounds that are like playing the lower end of a piano. They make playing the Taylor like it was electric. And electric? I got to put on 11's.

Thanks!

I play both 11s and 12s and my strat can stay in tine for 1-2 weeks with tremolo use (I don't have locking tuners either). So I say go for it!

Yeah putting 11s on it would be fine, and the sustain would be awesome!
