alembic1989 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Evening all. My current 6 string (34" scale) is currently tuned B-B. I have been thinking for some time that I'd like to experiment with E-E tuning. Can any one suggest string gauges.....maybe staring with 110/120 for bottom E and going from there. ..it would be a bonus if anyone has done the same ( I'm sure they have) and if anyone knows if a pre made set is available ...if not its no big deal to buy individually. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Walker Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 i buy all my strings from circle k strings... they have a tension guide to work out what string gauge you want for a particular note. currently i have a .172 for my top string to keep things nice and tight in drop g, which is about 40-45 ppsi. have a look anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Just use the top six strings from a 7-string set. Dean Markley - 22 27 47 67 87 107, Ken Smith - 20 28 44 63 84 106. Or get a set from Circle K - they do bottom string gauges from .051 up.
