8's are too light for me ...

but 9's are great and have more twang IMHO ... 10's are often too stiff especially after a long night and you're not in the mood for the fight.

My son uses 8's on an SG and the tone is fat and full.

Subtle micro bends are easier with 9's as well.

10's are good on a Gibby scale though.

I've played as high as 11's but tuned down a half step.

Most of the players we admire play 9's or 10's, but a buddy of mine uses 12's ... to each his own.
