Re: My custom string sets

I would love a 10, 12.5, 17, 26, 36, 48 on 25"5 neck scales.

I never saw 13,5

(David Gilmour GSH set for 24"3/4 has a 10,5)

Curt Mangan sells individual strings in .5 steps between 9 to 17. Balanced D'Addario sets have at least 13.5. Quite likely they have those im individual strings too.

You guys are really gonna make fun of me but I can't decide between 49 and 50 as my 6th string lol. 49 is more balanced, doesn't bend the neck as asymmetrically, and is slinkier and makes chords ring cleaner. But 50 locks down the 6th string nice and solid. I'm decided on the other gauges. 10,13.5,17,26,36.

Buy both, put them in a hat, close your eyes, and pick one.

I used to watch this show called Corner Gas. On one episode, the lead bought his aging parents a digital thermostat. The parents decide to set it to room temperature, then can't agree whether that's 71 or 72 degrees.

I'm trying to find the right F# string for my 27" scale Ibanez 8 string. It came with a 74, and I just swapped it for an 80. It's better, but I haven't really tweaked the setup, so I don't know that I'm done looking. Also just switched from a 59 to a 62 for the B on my 7 string RG.

10,13.5,17,26,36,49 sounds terrif. The 49 sounds way better for some reason. The neck bow isn't as jacked up and chords ring out better and the feel is better and it's not as boomy.
