Indeed it is. My band just switched to E standard and I couldn't be more happy.
Dan Mongrain is a beast.
Jeff Loomis begs to differ.:Spin:10-46, anything lighter is for pussies!

I myself have tried every gauge imaginable, but I've always ended up coming back to 9-42 for E standard (25.5"), though I am going to get a 7 string soon and I'll have to see if I will feel comfortable with that gauge on it (56ish bottom B standard).

Nope, not any more. At least that is what he said in an interview or such, that I read very recently. He has switched to 9 gauge.I'm pretty sure he uses 10-52 + 70 for the "B" string (tuned to A# in his case)
Yeap, because everything on Wikipedia must be true and up to date!Thats what his wiki page says haha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Loomis
