          I use .010's on my strat, but on a shorter-scale guitar, I move down to 9's. I find the fun of a short-scale HB guitar versus a long-scale singe coil is that you can adjust your attack and take advantage of the easy bends and vibrato. I love that feeling on a les paul-style guitar where you park your left hand around the tenth fret, bend and vibrato like crazy, and barely pick the guitar, using a lot of muting and harmonics. Makes you feel like Billy Gibbons.

            I might go to 9s, just for that reason --- if it's going to be different, it may as well be way different.

            Unrelated / Slightly Related: All the clips I have recorded so far are super sloppy because I am not used to the slightly shorter scale - my fingers come down in the wrong spot and I lose my orientation an get all confused

              I feel the same way, but in reverse. I tried out a tele at the store and couldn't believe how 'wrong' it felt, and how wrong it sounded.

                Haha. I totally hear you on that one. Out of my two main guitars, one is 24" and one is 25.5" and I play both of them every day. The first ten or so minutes of playing one after putting the other one down is always ****ing terrible.

                  Am I imagining things if I think 9s on a Gibson scale feel like 10s on a Fender scale? A friend of mine tried to tell me it should be the other way around.

                        If im not mistaken, I remember pictures of him as a newborn.

                        Seems like his dad is teaching him about the good things in life!

                        Liking Fenders sucks. All the Gibbys make fun of ya.

                          My guess is a Firebird.

                          I'm right, aren't I ?

                            I agree - shorter scale should have higher gauge strings to feel like a longer scale instrument --- BUT, my goal is not for them to feel similar.

                              His favorite guitar is my Guild acoustic, probably because it makes the most noise when he bangs on it but he likes this one second most, because it is the brightest and shiniest.

                              I'm hoping that this will become his favorite.
