John, Im curious too.
I use an .0115 for the G# but I am thinking about trying the Jagwire Paul Franklin set that has a .012 for a G# and heavier on the other strings as well.
Anyone using Paul Franklin Jagwires? |

| I play 6 string electric and use as heavy as i can go and still get the bends in there. Seems that you could really beef up the gauge and get a lot more sustain on these guys. |

| I've used a 12 on the G# and a 15 on the E (E9 neck). I liked the sound; not sure if it was sustain, but it sounded richer and fuller. But I'm back to an 11 and a 14 to reduce the pedal pressure. I reserve the right to change my mind again. |
