Warpig Question!

[blackout]

Hi Johnny,

I'd recommend going all the way to 13s for C or C#. I used C constantly for about a year or so on a 25.5" scale guitar, strung it with Rotosound 13-56s and they still felt pretty slack, probably like 9s would do in E.

One thing that might limit your choice of gauge is the width of the bridge and nut slots; I used 13s with a Floyd so it wasn't a problem, but I think standard bridge/nut slots may be too small.

Thanks for that! :D  13's!! They sounds seriously big :twisted:  :!:  I've only ever played with 9's. I'm foaming at the mouth just thinking about the sound of this idea already!! I'll look into the nut/saddles thing when I next get down to Croyden to see the Forums 'Axe Pimp' Jonathon at Feline Guitars! I want this one to be the most low end chest thumping beast in the universe!

Croydon? I'm there all the time, never heard of feline guitars though. Where abouts is it? Or is there another place called "Croyden"?
