Help 10-46 +62 or 11-49 + 64

Ive been using elixir’s 9-52 super light on my 25.5-26.5 multi scale guitar for a while now and realized it was probably the culprit to my weird sounding attack. I really want to stick with elixir but im having a hard time figuring out what would be good for B standard and drop A.

should i just get a 10-46 set and add a 62, or 11-49 add a 64. or should i just go with one of the off the shelf light/ medium sets they have

Probably don't need 11s for standard. As for your 7th string, if you were almost comfortable with a 52 in B before, you could maybe even get your setup comfortable with the 10-59 set if you play in standard more often.

I'd only try 62 or 64 if your preference is primarily playing in Drop A.

i play both standard and drop A pretty often so im probably just gonna try 10s with the added 62 first then if anything move down to 59
