Re: String size query ?
When I had my AVRI Jazzmaster in C# standard I had 14s on it, 25.5 scale, so I'm sure you could go to 12's and still be nice and loose.

Re: String size query ?
I've used d'addarios a lot it seems like, mostly cause they are pretty good and cheap. Like them more than ernie balls, which as you said get dull and break easy. Ghs boomers are a pretty good alternative for EB's. Keep in mind this is from a bass perspective.
