Good string sizes?

Wondering what string gauges you all use. Currently I use a 10-59 set. Looking to change it up tho, I want a larger string on the top to tighten things up a bit. I want to go down to A standard. I was thinking a .62, any recommendations on string gauges?

What do you all use for which tuning?

Oh Noes!

11-64 works well for me, give it a shot (I use EB power slinky top 6, then add an EB 64)

I use 12p-16p-20p-32w-42w-54w for DGCFAD (yeah i know, I'm a sixer )

May not be of much help without the low string, but...yeah.

The only creative accounting I have seen is Bush's plan to balance the budget by 2015.
Unless, of course, he plans on skyrocketing the debt at such a rate to approach infinity on an
asymptote, causing a giant budget calculator divide by zero error that reboots the country.

I Really Like Ibanez Seven String Guitars

Origanally posted by Variant - Pulled from the river Styx, the mighty black oar of doom in hand! I certainly would not call this particular guitar an "axe" more like a club. Whereas Noodles' KxK would run through an emo, spilling his insides for a quick death, this blunt mace would bludgeon the unfortunate effeminate soul, breaking bones, bruising muscle, and causing internal bleeding to lead only to a slow, painful death
