Members Folky_Grunge Posted February 3, 2013 Members Share Posted February 3, 2013 With electric guitar, I like .10-.46; anything smaller just feels and sounds too thin to me. I've been thinking about trying .11s because I play acoustic more and am more used to .12s, but I've been too lazy to try. As far as scale length goes, it doesn't affect what gauge I use at all. On a funny and completely unrelated note, when I ran this post through spell check, it suggested that I change ".11" and ".12" to "ass." What the hell is up with that?

Members percyexpat Posted February 3, 2013 Members Share Posted February 3, 2013 It very much depends on the guitar. Nothing less than 12-52 on Jazzmaster. Nothing less than 13-54 on a Jag. My Tele has 10-52, which I'm very happy with. Not a fan of light wound strings, plain strings just depend on how you want to play - to bend a lot or not to bend a lot.

Members fuqinazhole Posted February 5, 2013 Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 25.5 scale: Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom 10-52.Standard, 1/2 down, 1 down - dropped (drop C). I have used EB Beefy Slinky for down tuned drop B, or B standard tuning (like a 7 string but normal 3rd tuning on 2nd string) Thinking about going a little lighter and only using the 52 and 42 on low E and A cause I bend with just my pinkie sometimes, in drop tuning (bend a 9th up to minor/major 3rd), and it locks up, hurts like hell. GEAR RIGHT NOW: Digitech GNX3 (borrowed), {censored}ty Randall rg15xm 15w practice amp, Fender Starcaster. My knockoff Vee and franken-strat (unknown strat body, kramer neck) sold to pawn shop Surprisingly the single coils sound good with high gain as long as I dial down the treble and use a noise gate.
