Those are 10-52, although I don't consider 10-13-17 for the G-B-E strings to be skinny. Give them a try, nothing ventured...nothing gained

What are you currently using? I use EB Hybrid Slinky's myself, (9-46) and I think they're the best of both worlds. Decent bottom end, and good playability on the treble strings. Plus, they don't require much for set-up changes. You WILL need to make a truss-rod adjustment for those skinny top heavy bottom strings.

That's a great CD. I prefer heavy strings all the way across my guitar if I'm going to use thick ones. That way it's more constant. Just my preference though. My strings are .012 - .052, for the record.
