Alright I have these string that I've been playing in B (BEADGB), but they seem to uhmm loose. The dude at the guit. shop told me, "these will work..". hah obviously they don't. Can you help me out with a guage that will keep the strings not too tight and not too lose. Thanks.

I think .12 is gonna do it for you. If not then maybe some custom .11.

what gauges are you useing right now and what scale is your guitar 25.5 or 24.75

i usualy use 013 to 58 for B tuning, feels alot like 010 gauge in standart E (tightness wise)

If your guitar is 25.5 scale, get 13-56s, if it's 24.75, get 14-60

+1 except I have 13-59's because I used a D'addario 7 string set. Perfect for B, although Dean Markley 54-12's work great for it too.

I use 13-17-26-36-52-60, It's the bottom of a set of Zakk's custom lights and the high strings from a set of medium jazz. Nice and tight, just the way i like it!. IMO the Zakk set is unplayable with them going down to.10, they just seem to be flappin' in the breeze. It's expensive but my co-guitarist likes the lighter one's so its work's out good.

Thanks dude!!

Hmm about buying a seven string set and only using six of them.. would that work even better? I have never even thought of doing that!!

Anyway, I've got one guitar, my Jackson.. which is a 25.5 and I've got my custom scalloped axe and it's a 24.75.. Thanks for the tips!

If you bought a seven string set, it'd be accomplishing the same exact thing as buying a heavy gauge set, you'd just be paying extra for a string you wouldn't be using.
