? for Tommy White

Hi Tommy,
I saw that (some of)the string gauges of the Jagwire Tommy White sets have changed.
I'm interested to know why you prefer these new gauges and how they effect the tone.
Your opinion is highly respected,
Sincerely,
Marco Schouten.

Marco,
I changed from an eleven to an eleven and one half to bring up the volume of the G# (3rd string).
Although I enjoy the sustain of the .017 on the B(5th string), I feel the .018 is a little tougher and blends better in a triad.
While I'm here, I will say the reason for the .036 on the low B(10th string) is, it sustains more than the .038 and also has a better blend in a triad for my ears when using nickel strings.
My best,
Tommy White

Would these changes work well on a Carter, too? (scale length)

thx
