Which string gauge do all you metalheads use on your 24.75 scale Les Pauls??

[SepultuRick]

Hi, just wondering what string gauge you metal players out there use on your 24.75 scale Les Pauls.

What tunings do you use with the guitar too?

thanks

I use 12-52 in standard/Dropped D and 13-60 in D/Dropped C

[PFDarkside]

Slinkys or Elixirs, 10-46 or 11-48, Standard or Eb, all depending on the mood I'm in . Usually it's Sinky 10's in standard.

[ex-250]

Ghs 11-50

DR Tite-Fit 11s for me on the LP, standard tuning.

[pac112]

GHS boomers 10-46. usually tuned standard. nice to hear that you are using the LP for metal!!!

ROCK ON!!!

I just started using 10-52. Need heavy bass strings on a Les Paul if you're doing any rhythm. A 42 or 46 low E is too loose

DR Pure Blues 10-42. I use that same set of strings on all of my axes.

Wait I just realized you said metalheads. Disregard my post

to add balance to joelaps post..
i'm a metalhead but dont have a LP. my axe is short scale though and i use 10-46 strings

I use D'Addario 12-52's and i tune down two steps to C, then drop the low string down to Bb.

my les paul gets 11-49 and my 24.75 schecter gets 10-52 since i use it in E and drop D

Blue Steel 10-46 on both guitars

[JOLLY]

9-42

[J Moose]

11-52 on the Pauls and 10-46 on anything with a 25" or longer scale. I'm in standard tuning, E flat or drop D about 97% of the time.

[some_dude]

Ghs 11-56

[Sprinter]

DR Pure Blues 11-50's

Standard Tuning

[ErikH]

10-46, standard or E flat tuning.

[PFDarkside]

I think I need to find myself a different gauge, bigger E, etc. 52 might be a touch big... is 10-52 the standard "regular top/power bottom"?

[SpeedDemon]

11-56 or 12-58. Tuned to C or Standard.

[Akrin]

10-46 in standard, but as soon as I get another HH guitar, I think I'm gonna throw some 12s on it and crank it down to C standard
