    Default What string guage are you guys using currently?

    Right now I'm using a 12-54 set for my high B to my low B string and an 8 for my high E (it's a 7 string).
    And you?

    I'm just using a simple set of 9s. Works very well for me, so I cant complain.

    I use 10-46 on most of my guitars. The rest have 11-50 on them. I use the 11-50's on tremolo (non locking) equipped guitars. They seem to stay in tune better with the larger guage strings. The 10-46 strings are Martin bulk strings which are Darco's. The 11-50 strings are DR Pure Blues.
