Didn’t even know they made strings smaller than 11s! The next question is, why would they do that? Gross.
Obviously, I’m kidding. I haven’t read the entirety of the thread. But for me, being a lifelong Fender player, the 25 inch scale has always thrown me off. PRSi always have felt floppy - the 11s help offset the flop brought forth by the shorter scale.
It’s worked so well for me, that I’m the most mediocre guitar hack out there - so, what do I know?
Honestly, the DGT pulls off 11s quite nicely.
