View Full Version : Best String Gauge?
I seriously need a string upgrade since I keep breaking my tens, but im wondering what gauge I should use since I seldom go back to E but usually play in DGCFAd. I also want to try C too so im wondering what I can use.
Thanks.

0.10 should stil be fine for D, but you might want to try 0.11

exactly what i was going to say
I have .12 for mostly D, but I think I could use more. Light guage - even for people who use only E - is for pussies.
iod say 010 for D 011 for C and 09 for E.
ive noticed though, that on my jackson i neded 011in D wich feels the same as 010 in D on my ibanez

10 is perfect for D. No problem on my Ibanez w/ 10s. But my problem is I tend to get rough from time to time, and my strings break. Well not ALL the time but say one string every 3 weeks or someshit, if not 2 in 4 weeks.

Well I must be a Pussy cause I like 9s,
heavy gauge is good for tuning down , 10s are about as heavy as Ill go if I stay in E , You cant tell me your shredding with 11s unless your tuning down to C# :beer:
.10 is good for d but if you're going to dropped C then maybe .11 will suit you better.
