I use 10-52s primarily which are admittedly probably a lil heavier than i should be using ( i like the fight lol) but they are Daddario NYXL and smooth as silk. I get the callous tips myself after a couple hours roughly of playing. Always have even when i would use 9s from Elixir or even my early days of Ernie Ball Slinky 8s ( but i snapped too many of them). Doesnt help i use hand tools all day either lol
I have good callouses, but I eventually wear through them.

Thats what i hate: is you get a good one going but you wear a hole thru them like a painless blister and then its back to square one rebuilding it, meanwhile having to trim the dead skin hanging and catching from them lol
Ugh!!!! I hate that!!!!

I don't really get calluses either anymore. We use thin strings though.

I stopped getting calluses when I stopped gigging with acoustics and PB strings about 15 years ago. I only really got one one my ring finger even back then.

I picked the junior up at about 9:15 this morning, having put new strings on it last night, and proceeded to play the hell out of it for most of the day. I just put the thing away. at 8:30.
You can even see the scar where I sliced the end of my ring finger fighting with a Guinness can that refused to open some years ago

I rather watch something better than your lips. No offence

This was way, way out of my wheelhouse. I tried Locrian but finally settled on Phrygian. I've never tried to play anything in either scale so there are quite few boo boos when my fingers naturally went into pentatonic mode. Not my best effort but it made me think which is always good.
Nice work KB
