I have only been playing guitar for about a year,with my 6 string Gibson I have tried #9 thru #12 and stuck with #10 slinky's
I just got a 12 string electric Epiphone Riviera looking for a short cut to a good string guage without having to change them three or four times.
I looking for decent sound but good playability.
Looking at a string chart I'm leaning towards a set of Ernie Ball 2230 there guage is 8-8
10-10
14-8
24-11
32-17
40-22
