S6 string change time

Yeah, 4 of my guitars had EXP's as original equipment so I'm still working out what I like. I'm trying ernie ball earthwoods, ej16's, and still not sure where to try the medium martin originals 80/20.

Looking back on my history:
- In 1960, when I got my first guitar, I'd go to the music store and ask for "a set of guitar strings". I have no idea what gauge they were, but I recall they were usually Black Diamond and/or Mapes and they often had spare unwound strings in the pack.
- By the seventies, I was playing bluegrass a lot and was using medium gauge Martins to be heard when playing with with banjos and fiddles.
- By the early eighties I was playing a lot of finger-style and blues and switched to light gauge, .011s, in order to bend strings with my pinky.
- The last few years the old arthritis has hit my hands and besides dropping a couple of extra strength Tylenols before a session, I'm afraid these 79 year old hands have resorted to XLs. I just put a set of D'Addario EJ15s (.010-.047) on my old Gibson LG1. Not excellent tone, but a lot less painful.
- I still use lights (.011s) on my dreadnoughts, but I tend to grab the LG1 for gigs or longer sessions. I save the dreadnoughts for shorter sessions.
