The Telecaster I have now has 11s on (GHS strings) in E standard tuning, while my Ibanez RG has an 11-49 Elixir set in standard tuning. Just have it set up right and you should be fine.

may times na naputulan ako pagkabit ko ng 11's for the first time noon, i don't think if yung guitar or strings ang kaduda-duda. It takes practice.

started with 9s, then slowly climbed up to 11s....after not playing for a long while, nahirapan ako sa 11s
so I decided not to make playing so hard for me...dapat masaya eh. so I went back to 10s.

my reason for increasing the string gauge was for tuning stability...but I realized that can be addressed by proper set

I use 9s on a Dropped D tuning on 25.5" scale. the feel is so right for me specially executing vibratos. I tried a set of 10s recently but I still prefer 9s

my verdict
thinner gauge: more comfortable to bend, warmer sounding, more playing time for me(hindi masakit sa kamay), mas ma chug
heavier gauge: more effortless alternate picking, brighter, less playing time for me, tighter on lows(less flub)

overall it's a matter of preference.  :)

I got so used  playing a wizard neck that I forgot the feel of thicker strat necks, I'm using 10s on my strat(standard tuning) now and enjoying Hendrix tunes, after two weeks I'll change them to 11s on proper Eb tuning (kung kaya ko. Hehehe)
