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?

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
