Those are the strings of the ESP Signature of Alexi Laiho ( but it doesn't mean that he uses strings like those ), they don't seem to be very thick, I would say it's forty-something. Anyway, you should try different strings and use the ones you feel more confortable with, it's the way it has to be. :D
 
now they use drop C i reckon he'll have changed the .50 to something thicker, i currently got a .54 on my C string and well i want a .56 cos of the slack
 
That's fucking thick :O

BTW, what bridge does your guitar have? I officialy hate my Licensed Floyd Rose on my RRX10D, I can't tune down too much without fucking up everything... :D
