Help - string gauge for dropped C.
Help - string gauge for dropped C.
Im gonna try some D'Adds 11-49s soon on my EC-1000VHB W/ BKP Painkiller for D Standard, but id asume that those would be good enough for Drop C as well.
I like my strings to feel loose ish, almost feeling like what 10-46s feel in standard, albeit in D Standard.
My ec1k needs at least a 52 for C. The 49 may work for d standard, I buy single 48's or 49's for dropped D. the rest should be good.
I used 10-52 for CGCFAD once or twice worked more than ok tuned to D and then Eb which had a really meaty sound to it with the 10-52's, i've never found that lighter strings sounded better or worse just they tended to sound alot more thin, and feel abit feeble...
Infact i might restring the ninja or with 10-52's and put one in eb...
but yeah you do really want a thicker string for the low C anything below a 52 is going to be really weedy and feel floppy and not work aswell as soemthing thicker...
