- Light strings: 0.009, 0.011, 0.016, 0.024, 0.032, 0.042
- Medium strings: 0.010, 0.013, 0.017, 0.026, 0.036, 0.046
- Heavy strings: 0.011, 0.015, 0.018, 0.028, 0.038, 0.050
For alternate tunings, such as drop D (D, A, D, G, B, E), you may want to use a slightly heavier string on the low E string to maintain proper tension.
Ultimately, the best string size for your Telecaster depends on your personal playing style and preferences. I recommend experimenting with different string sizes until you find a set that feels and sounds best to you.
