Typically I order one 0.009 set for electric guitar for the melody side and a put together a custom set for the bass side. Do you use “normal” guitar strings on a Stick? Are they long enough? I read somewhere that even bass strings wouldn’t sound good on a stick.

Re: Information about string gauges Does anybody know the string gauge for a light-set in deep baritone melody for 10-string or matched reciprocal for 12-string?

Although it's implicit to an extent from the changes in sizes, it would be very nice to have a clear indication of plain & wound in the lists, e.g. 'p' & 'w'? Just a thought.

Re: Information about string gauges WerkSpace wrote: https://stickist.com/download/file.php?id=2197&mode=view See this page for the spec of all 3 sets that Newtone supply. However they don't list what tuning or weight each set represents. From email exchange with them a while ago, they didn't seem to know that information themselves, i.e. these were just sets they were asked to supply and that they now offer for sale.

Re: Information about string gauges I've seen here the medium gauge size. What about a heavy gauge information? I prefer to play on heavy. Thanks if you have the info. MR 6x6.

Re: Information about string gauges Does anyone else have such a document? I'm putting a database together that is going to benefit us all

Re: Information about string gauges Gerald wrote: It ist still a mystery - don´t ask me why - there are a lot of topics about it in this forum, but no answer. Let's try to change that! I see no problem in disclosing this information, after all, whoever wants to buy strings from SE can always do it.
