i think 10s have a better tone but are harder to play.

i think 9s are harder to play, they're smaller so, at least for me, they slip on the higher strings when i'm bending, they have no tapping tone, but 10s do, and they don't slip.

Srry, yoda, i read ur replay really fast and when right over my head. They are electic strings that i use on my fender esquire. The thing is is that they are brand new and they dont bend as much as if they were broke in. My old strings didnt bend that well at first but after a while, it was good enough for me.

thx for the help

ok, when you put brand new strings on pull on them to stretch them, but not too much or theyll break. All you have to do is keep tuning it back to normal. If you do that a couple of times and play they will stretch.
