What gauge strings do telecasters come with?

Answer: Out of the box, most of the Telecaster guitars come equipped with 9-42 strings.

Do higher gauge strings sound better?

As we know, heavier strings can help deliver a “bigger and better” tone! ... For example, if you're changing from a 9-42 gauge to a 10-46 gauge set of strings, it may not sound like a big change, but the heavier 10-46 set carries over 20% more tension across the entire set.
