Next time I changed the strings I think I am going to bump the electric up to a 10 or maybe 11. The difference in tension in between my electric and acoustic is a little too much and usually leads to me having to take time to adjust so that every time I barre a chord on the electric I don't bend all 6 strings. I might bring down the acoustic to 11 also just because I am girl with not so big not so strong hands and it can take a lot out of them to play simple songs but is great in building my hand strength!]]> Guitar Players Discussion purple https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-guage-strings-do-you-use-i-e-9-10-etc/paged/2/#post-189148 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-guage-strings-do-you-use-i-e-9-10-etc/paged/2/#post-189042 Thu, 13 Jul 2006 19:55:06 +0000 lot of bends, I find these gauges the best compromise between tone and comfort. :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Faza https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-guage-strings-do-you-use-i-e-9-10-etc/paged/2/#post-189042 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-guage-strings-do-you-use-i-e-9-10-etc/paged/2/#post-189029 Thu, 13 Jul 2006 18:55:49 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion 97reb https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-guage-strings-do-you-use-i-e-9-10-etc/paged/2/#post-189029 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-guage-strings-do-you-use-i-e-9-10-etc/paged/2/#post-188964 Thu, 13 Jul 2006 04:41:10 +0000
