If it IS a short scale, the obvious solution is to use lighter strings. My Viper is a 24.75, and it works pretty beautifully in Drop C tuning with just 10 gauge strings. Eventually, I might get another short-scale and slap some 11s on it for C standard and Drop A♭ tuning.
On my 24 3/4 scale guitar that I had tuned to C, I used 12-52. I also used 12's on my normal scale guitar, the shorter scale had a little less tension, but I thought the 13's had a little to much tension tuned to C.
my explorer is in d standard with 11-49 so i was thinking either 13-56 or 12-56...the brand im not sure of...what do you use?
got it done...ernie ball 12-56 got to stretch those strings and let it settle a bit....otherwise it feels tight
well i have to say this set is pulling the neck and cant stay in tune....its having major problems...i think im gonna go with d'addario 12-52
i went back to 12-52 d'addario and it worked perfectly...i knew it would work
bjorn from in flames uses 13-68 guage...specially coated...cause he cant touch nickel strings...he is allergic and gets blisters....thats rough
