For most people, 13-56 guage strings would be too heavy for soloing. The only person I know of who actualluy used strings that heavy was Stevie Ray Vaughn, because heavier guage strings give better sustain. He also tuned his guitar down a 1/2 step (to Eb tuning). The sustain is why you use a heavy guage string such as these on a lap steel.

Is a 12 string guitar harder to play than a 6 string guitar?
depends on what you play, a 12 is just like playing a 6 but you're more the less you're playing chords as the strings are grouped together giving it a louder sound. Its more difficult to say play solos on it. 7 on the other hand has a little bit of a wider neck which you get used to, people argue that a 7 strings top strings useless because its so low. But that doesn't mean you can't tune it higher like I do. my best advice other than trying it is to play a 6 string in low B tuning (with heavy gauge strings) and see if you like it. B isn't a good tuning unless you have very thick strings.

What can I use instead of guitar strings?
nothing else will work in experience, I mean I looked around the house looking for ideas what to work for the thinnest string (high E) and nothing works. best advice go with a very heavy set it may take some time to get used to but heavy means thick strings, they dont break as fast and are the same price usually.

Heavy enough that the strings won't buzz in that tuning. Probably 12-52 or 12-56. Have fun!
