Guitar String Gauge

[chazkidlat]

Ang 9 parang rubber band. 10s almost there. Standard lang. 11 parang lets talk... 12 hello sexy!

[denden009]

Yep 11s or 12s sa standard tuning madrama talaga ang mga nagaganap sa fretboard. Battle and triumph.. sa bends and all. Sarap talaga

Can't imagine 12s on standard haha sobrang tigas nun.

When you get used of playing 13s sa acoustic. Mamimiss mo yung feel nya.

[leonard]

depends on guitar and their scale length, 10s on my tele and dano, 11s on my semi hollow. all standard tuned.

[treblinkalovescene]

I use 11s on standard tuning for all of my guitars. I want to move up to 12s, but they're harder to find locally.

nag 11s lang ako for almost 3years ..standards..

feeling ko nasisira ang neck. or baka feeling ko lang yun. since squire korea lang naman yung ginamitan ko ng 11s. any observations about 11s? bumalik na kao sa 10s this year eh.

[treblinkalovescene]

paano to? scale lenght? pwede paexplain?

[fizz450_03]

i once used 11s (standard tune) sa lp ko, i got used to it after some days of playing. tone wise panalo, nahihirapan lang ako with fast passages. but i feel that
given enough time and practice pwede naman.


all of my guitars though are strung with .10s. as the above posts say, there is a balance between tone, playability and durability. i like doing fairly large bends and pre-bends,
tumatagal naman for some reason. although i find .09s easier to play, yung kasing .10s pwede ko pang gigilan.

[WHOLESALER]

10-52 on 6 string prs guitars tuned drop d
10-80 on ibanez 8 string guitars standard f#

[iceblink-luck]

I use 11's. They sound really great with my Tele's

i use 11's on my offsets .... my tele is 10's hindi ba magbebend ang neck due to tention?

[JanMayer]

9's ang gamit ko ngayon pero baka mag try ako ng mas mataas na gauge Not sure if 10's or 11's hehe

[chazkidlat]

i use 11's on my offsets .... my tele is 10's hindi ba magbebend ang neck due to tention?

same question ko.. yun din iniisip ko eh.

That's why you have the truss rod.. 

[BlackandGoldLP]

9s tuned to Eb on a Les Paul.........super comfy to play

[iceblink-luck]

seems redundant what i mean if you use 11's on the tele .. i quoted our friend using 11's on a tele ... trustrod will help?  thanks

scary..pero gusto ko mag 11s sa telecaster ko. hindi ba risky?

[r_chino18]

Yup. Definitely. Because the truss rod will "counter" whatever string gauge (tension) you will use, just adjust it to optimum tightness or looseness. If the guitar does not have a truss rod and you put strings on it (even 9s), the neck will underbow. It's there to straighten the neck.

[zisnarf_miranda]

Elixir strings (11's or 10-52's) on my six string guitars (Cort and Ibanez) before...

switched to 7 string guitar now (Elixir 10-56)
