Vai uses 0.09 while playing at home or in studio and 0.10 in tour

Nuno usually uses 9 - 46s to the best of my knowledge.

Malmsteen uses his signature set, which I believe is a mixture of light top and heavy bottom. His high E string is a .008".

The most balanced 9's set you will find is 9-12-16-24-32-44. For a 7-string, add a 59 for the low B.
