WHAT Gauge strings are you using ,kids today no respect

[TEB]

Absolutely NO you will not be putting 8’s on that guitar son do you want it to sound like anything.
Am teaching him how do a set up on Orville by Gibson les Paul I love japan guitars.


Child - but dad I was gonna do 8’s and top wrap them I think 10’s I don’t know dad

Father - son when I was a kid we used 10 to 12’s and we walked uphill both ways to the mailbox on the farm. Come on you been using 10’s on strat and other Lester’s you were this close to having me come down on you.

2. 9's work great on my PRS semi-acoustic electric. I still manage to snap the E string and I'm

62!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

3. 10's on my Les Pauls, 9's on my Tele and Electra, 11s on my Martin. nt

[TEB]

4. It's just personal choice dr

I like 10’s on my strats as well

[Dr Hobbitstein]

6. My fingers don't like 10s with the longer scale...

My bends aren’t as consistent.

But yeah, all a personal preference.

12. I Use Both

One Strat has 9s the other 10s

[Hoyt]

5. Look up what his favorite guitarist use. That should do it.

7. Make good choices about what to argue over and

watch out for that generational discrimination bias though I did notice the emoji chuckle.

8. Don't take my 9's away!!!!

I use Super Slinky's, Ernie Ball makes a RPS (reinforced plain string) set of Super Slinky's and the unwrapped strings bend nicely but they feel a tad bit thicker than regular 9's. They also don't break.

[TEB]

9. They're will be no 8's in my house young man

On any les kids uuugh you can put em on those Ibanez rg but we have standards

[stevil]

10. I got ya.

8's feel like playing a severely detuned guitar.

11. Depends On The Guitar

9's on 4 electrics and 10s on 3 others
Then 11s on an old Dan Armstrong set up for slide.
On acoustic, they're all medium gauge, but the 12 string mediums are different tan the 6 strings

[Iggo]

13. 10's.

9's are for noodlers.
