On a licensed floyd rose tremolo? I was thinking 11's but I got 9's on right now and I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has been playing that tuning recently (Ive been at e flat for what seems like forever).

11 to somewhere mid 50's

if it's a nice guitar you can get away with 9s, but i would do 11s.

I read somewhere that these are a good choice... Anyone agree/disagree?

try em. the guy i tech for used to use them for cgcfad ona gibson scaled guitar and they worked pretty good. he went up to 11's though because of his sausage fingers

I'm going to order this set online, I think....I don't want to have to walk into the intimidating atmosphere of a Guitar Center. Any good sites I should look to order from?

I use amazon.com to order alot of my shit, but im sure musiciansfriend.com has it too. I bet theres other places with better prices but im a lazy bastard when it comes to internet shopping.

I quit buying e.b.'s after some racist remarks made against Jimi Hazel.

i use http://www.stringsbymail.com/stmanudisp.asp?tCat=1 but mainly because of their nylon selection. what's cool about that place is that you can order a set of strings, and have each string be of a different brand.

i used to use those EB 10-52's but got tired of them, they just had a dull sound to me. on my electrics i only use d'addarios nowadays.

I ended up getting a couple of packs of GHS boomers 11's. The best part is after stringing em up in the floyd rose and tuning it down to C I didnt even have to adjust my springs! Apparently going from 9's tuned to E flat to 11's tuned to C the spring tension is almost identical!

I'll check out that musiciansfriend.com. Thanks.

musiciansfriend wants to charge me $32 to ship a set of strings.

i've been using these exclusively for about 4 years

those 11's might work but I would buy a separate .21 for the G string. a 17 is WAY too loose. I love eating stinky pussy for some reason.
