can recommand?

Thinnest string for accoustic ive seen is 0.10 at the high e. ghs carries them. Do note that changing string gauge (thickness) should not be done on a whim especially accoustic guitar. What will happen if u use too light a gauge then set up originally is that the neck will then bend backwards. Giving u all sorts of problems.

So if u wanna change the string gauge, ull have to bring the guitar for a set up. Do consider carefully b4 u do.

agreed. .10 is one of the thinnest i've seen around. but though its easier to play, the sound isnt there. stick with the .12's they give you a nice rich sound (unless you have something else in mind).

like beez said "so you use .12's not bad ah, like pro"

 

[edder]

I think for electric players... 11's is a good compromise. 10 too thin. 12 fingers no strength...

 

[ciel]

hey 12s are fine if your guitar is nicely setup. Taylor's comes with 12s and they play damn fineeee...... drool.... martin.....drooll.........

 

[markedymark]

yeah, like ed said. if you've been playing electric all the while, .12's might be like a massive workout.

ciel, MARTINS AAAAAAAAAAHHHH. but i'd settle for a taylor 414ce anytime. and elixirs rock lah.

there's D'Addario on 9's for acoustic guitar. Go to Davis guitar.

 

[markedymark]

oh my gawd. i cant imgine .09's on acoustics man. scary

 

[Dscythe]

11's for electric guitar? A bit heavy right? 9's on acoustic is scaringly thin!

 

[edder]

i use 13's cos I'm macho like that but i tune to B. bwahahahahaaha

 

[ciel]

wow worships edder!

 

[kampong]

ic
i will buy a .10 this week
anyway, if too thick, my string will come out..coz too tight and guitar too old already..
haha
tks pple..
me newbie

 

[ciel]

10s are way too light for acoustic. get at least 11s. 10s on acoustic will just sound thinny.

 

[edder]

wow worships ciel!

 

[ciel]

GROUP HUG!

 

[fgl]

donno about the thinest BUT the BEST DAMM accoustic guitar strings I've ever used are the YAMAHA SILVER STRINGS series - get an 11 gauge - nice shimmering tones..

 

[Dscythe]

Haha.. I think it's up to individual... IMO, elixirs are bloody good... But the good feeling ends when you snap one.... $25 bucks flying away

 

[markedymark]

thats why, for elixirs. need to mass order! :lol:

 

[kampong]
