Guitar String Gauge

[estaciodanny]

Pashare naman ng gamit ninyong string gauge at kung anu anu tugtugan ninyo, sakin kasi 10's yung ginagamit ko ngayon disadvantage lang eh masakit na yung mga daliri ko kabebend hehe pero ang advantage ay madaling imute yung ibang string at buong buo yung tunog.

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

hindi ba ganung kahirap sa mga bends yun sir?

[analog.matt]

pag tunay na magandang gitara at amp, kahit 9s lang ang strings, mapapalaki ang tunog.

[j-sonic]

Billy Gibbons uses 8's. Malmsteen light gauges too

yup, si yngwie malmsteen nga kung hindi ako nagkakamali 8s ang gamit pero di mapapagkamalan 8s gamit nya sa tunog nya.

[arkeetar]

dati 9s gamit ko, ngayon 10s na, main reason,
1. feel: mas tama
2. mas tumatagal fret life, sa 9s, nagagasgas or nalulubog ko agad.
3. tone: mas ok din, mas maayos ako magpatunog sa 9s pero dahil sa reason no. 1&2, will stick to 10s hehe 

[opencoke]

i love 9s sa shred machinees pero sa strat 10s gamit ko.

Sanayan lang yan. I went to 11's and never looked back. I got the tone I wanted from my tele's.

I guess it's all a matter of preference. Whatever feels most comfortable to you, use that.

Personally, I use 10s. I believe it's a perfect balance between having the (more) ballsy tone of a heavier gauge and the playability of a lighter gauge.

However, I'm trying to learn how to play faster. (Operative word is "trying". LOL) So maybe I'd shift to a lighter gauge to enable me to make bends using my pinky. Medyo mahina pa yung pinky ko dahil I haven't used it in lead work for the longest time.

ok di pa lang siguro sanay mga daliri ko sa 10's kaya nag aadjust pa.

iyon din sinusubukan ko mabilis sanayin ko muna daliri ko saka na ako magshift sa lighter gauge

10's dahil sa volume and sustain <3

[inexperience]

The thinner the neck the greater the tension of the strings, i use 10s on my thick necked strat  Eb tuning and 9s on my Ibanez RG at standard tuning. I wanted to use 11s on my strat pero mahirap mag bend   

[curiousdcat]

11s in standard tuning...gusto ko kasi may konting laban. 

[randymarsh]

11s in standard tuning...gusto ko kasi may konting laban. 

wow! hehe

9s sa standard tuning or 10s sa half step down. taglamig kasi 

[curiousdcat]

Sanayan lang and a lot of time picking my nose para kumapal yung kalyo.       

[david_leyson]

Gauge 11 on a vintage style bridge with Standard Tuning and also 11 on the Floyd Rose bridge with the Drop C, gauge 10 on a Floyd Rose with Drop D. having overpitch bends with gauge 10 and below. di ko alam kung bakit, hahahaha!

[yekoz]

I always break 8's and 9's. 10's gauge is ideal for me...IMHO...

[sonicassault]

10s for both electric and acoustic.

Iba yung tone dahil sa increased volume and sustain vs the 9s. 11s are better tone wise but they're too heavy for me.
Weird thing is that I find it easier to bend 10s than 9s. Not sure, but the resistance of the heavier gauge gives me a
surer sense of the tone (not pitch).

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

i use 10's sa telecaster ko.
11s and 12's sa strat ko na luma.

feeling ko nasisira at tumatanda yung neck ko sa 12s after 1 yr ng playing. nag permanent na ako sa 11s.

totoo ba to? or ako lang nakakaramdam na masama sa gitara ang 11s? since i sold my strat

10s sa tele nalang gamit ko. ayoko kasi masira yung telecaster. (medyo spoiled sa akin eh)
help! 

(namiss ko na tumugtog ng blues sa 11s)

I hope hindi sya nakakasira...I'm so comfortable with 11s that I find it hard to play anything lighter...can't afford na din to get another guitar. 

[ibbyboy02]

For me,
9's too slinky.
11's too heavy.
10's balanced. Feel-wise & Tone-wise

[denden009]

I use 12s for my Tele because the songs in our band is in Drop B, medyo floppy na yung 11s pababa eh

[chazkidlat]

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