What gauge do you use?

[Shinodax]

i use gauge 9 cos it's easier to bend.. haha but my fingers hurt like hell man.. i think i should change to 10 or 11 hmmmm

 

[lightice]

I use this for the djugga, like pathein, i get the excitements when I see threads about string... its all about the djugga.

Elixirs Baritone or DETH!!!!!

.012 .016 .022 .038w .052w .068w

Lol, yo ed! Too much homebrew?

Btw i use 10-46s on strats, 12-52s on tele.

 

[flip22er]

I always used to use 9's before switching to 10's this year, it was difficult to train my fingers to begin with but it is not so much of a problem now. Thinking of trying out 11's as I prefer a heavier sound.

Just curious, does anyone mess with the setting of their guitar when changing gauge or do you leave it alone?

 

[lightice]

Re-intonate and adjust the truss rod if required.

HAHA looks like you ripped off my line which i ripped off from SLASH haha.....

glad you like the feel of 11s! will move to them if my band downtunes....

Hahah, did Slash really say that?
Hmm, but i really feel that thinner strings feel like there's almost nothing on the guitar, hahah, but i guess it might be just me...

anyway, the fat tone is the main reason!

 

[kernelspy]

curt mangans 10-46.. very high tension for 10's which i like very much.. bending got more mojo

Yeah, I just tried Curt Mangan strings and I felt the liveliness with my tone... though I think it's a little bit 'hard' so my bridge needs to get re-adjust. Other than that, it rocks! Been using D'addario for more than 10 years now so I know the difference... :-D

 

[metalhead1993]

I use 12s for that thick balsy sound. Sounds exactly like lamb of god when i drop tune to drop c or b.

 

[niteblade]

gauge 10 for electrics

gauge 12 for acoustics

 

[metalhead1993]

thats not true...

 

[mus]

thats not true...

What's not true?

you got that right man...curt mangans do feel stiff to me. compared to slinkys.

Elixirs 10s - 46s, love them.

 

[Reubenfjk]
