Hey guys, I'm thinking of changing my guitar strings. Can anyone tell me what options I have, what thickness strings suite which kind of music, etc? thanx.
Heavier strings when put without intonation done will Warp the fretboard.. See the optimum guage specified by your guitar manufacturer or get someone to adjust the springs according to your requirement..
Hey Ambuj, DMF has some extra strings...he wants to sell it off. its ernie balls...they are good. I wonder what happend to your guitar strings...they are new. aren't they?
^^^ LOL @ ambuj : Before you put a heavier guaged strings, just set the springs right.. Can you tell us which guitar you have?
string gauges really depend on the guitar model you have. For instance Gibson's sound better with a medium/lighter gauge tthan heavies. Whereas Fender's are much much better with the heavier strings.
I use 9-42 as well. I find it extremely comfortable to play though I may get better tone by using 10 guage strings. @ambuj: I have a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinkies (9-42) and D'Addario X-Super Lights (8-38) if you are interested. Let me know if you want either of them.
