7 Stringers- What's Your Preferred String Gauge?

[TSJMajesty]

I wanna take my 7-string EBMM JR Cutlass back to my std string gauge for std tuning, which is 10-56. (Tried the "heavy bottom" set and don't like it.)

Stopped by GC today, and they didn't have ANY in that gauge. (I'm a strict EB string guy.) Which I thought was odd, since I, maybe incorrectly, assumed that was a fairly popular string gauge setup.

Thus the question. If you use a heavier set, but tune lower than std, let me know.

Maybe it's just GC being GC, or that they didn't have any in stock because it's a popular size?

My Ibanez was on 9-54 stock, so I used to like it. Yes it is very soft! Got a few of 11-59 Elixir sets that I'm planning to use on next restring. However my tune is B standard this days. I tune my 6s lower lol

My JR Cutlass had 9's on it when I bought it, and I was pulling the low strings sharp. Had to switch to a set of 10's right away.
