I'm always playing with tone, looking for a deeper, darker, "Metal" tone. I started out using .009-.042 gauge strings, then upgraded to a hybrid set of .009-.046. I'm wanting to play with my tone again and go even deeper. I want something where I can do bends fairly easily, especially for soloing, but I want a really dark "rhythm tone."
I have a Wizard neck on my guitar so it's a very thin neck, plus a Schaller Floyd floating tremolo. If I swapped my strings and used hybrids from a .011 set for the low E, A, D and upgraded to strings from a .010 gauge set for my high G, B, and E, would I achieve much or would I be wasting my money and time? Also, is it possible to run .011s on the low E, A, and D and run the .009s on the high G, B, and E, or would I cause damage?
