what strings to use???
Ok, when I got my mh-250nt yesterday, this was going to be the first 25.5 scale guitar that I've had. so when I got the guitar, I instantly changed the strings. the strings I use for basically all of my guitars are ernie ball skinny top, heavy bottom: 52,42,30,17,13,10. but I use them on 24.75 scale guitars, which means that the string tension was greater on my mh-250nt.
now it doesn't feel right. I think I may need to change string gauge for this guitar.
I really like the string tension on my ec-100qm, and all of my other guitars, so whats the equivalent of the strings listed above, but on a 25.5 scale guitar?
10-46 for drop c and c standard! you guys are on crack , you strings will be flapping in the wind unless you str8in the neck a shit load.
on my 24 scale i use 52-12 ghs and there even a tiny bit loose , and thats for drop c
i know guys who use 10-52 for standard tunings
LOL at 10-46
That wasn't directed at me was it, i was just throwing out there what i use, i play in E all the time, and sometimes dropped D. C to me is ridiculous, you cant get a satisfying crunch out of that( As James learned on St. Anger), too muddy, especially with 12-52's on there.
what tuning ? standard/drop D ? i'd go for 9/46's , on a 25.5 . i guess you should just try out some gauges and see what you like though , its about preferance really . congrats on the guitar
