I have always loved Johnny Winter's sound. He must be using 9's or tuned-down
10's. The strings have a thinner twangier sound and he bends the hell out of
'em. It's not a surf sound.

Funny thing about string gauges. No matter what I try, I just can't
get a Strat to feel or sound right with anything below twelves (for
surf instro). Seems like a handful of mush even just going down to
elevens. BUT--- for general rock and roll and country, I think
snappy little tens and elevens on something like a Telecaster sound
WAY better--- anything heavier is too meaty and loses the twang.
So it depends on the turf, I guess.
