Re: Which string has more tension...

.009's are a nice choice.  I use them and/or .008's on my 6-string
models.  .010's are tougher on my fingertips.

Also...some brands of strings list the amount of tension for each
string based on a standard 25.5" scale length

Thanks GR, the real issue is that I also play some slide, and I'm
afraid if I go *too* light, I'll start clinking the frets! I guess
after this weekend's gig I'll set up a Strat with .009's and see how
it works out.
