I'm guessing he uses nines. Can someone fill me in ?

direct quote from Jimmy:

Strings:I’ve been using D’Addario strings as long as I can remember. I experimented a lot with gauges. For awhile I used 11’s. It was OK but the way I like to bend strings, it just started tearing the flesh off my fingers and made my hand hurt. So I finally settled on a regular 10 set. On some guitars I have 12’s but I don’t usually play those guitars in public and I don’t bend much when I play them. Mostly I just shed jazz type stuff on the 12’s.
