do you need a different set?

i have the common 25.5 (tama ba?) and a 24.6 (gretsch electromatic).

do i need a different set with the gretsch? what brand offers them?

nope. magiiba lang yung feel. yung same set would feel loose-er on the gretch than on a, say, a fender.

some players experiment with slightly heavier guages on shorter scaled guitars para consistent yung feel from one guitar to another.

if you like it that way no problem, but really not necessary..
except you want different gauges on either guitars..
