BR-9 Gibson Lap Steel String Gauges For C6

Robbie Bossert · From: WESCOSVILLE,PA,U.S.A.

Can anyone tell me the best gauge to use for this model guitar? I wanna' put a standard C6 tuning on it in a big hurry for a gig and it's been so long since I strung it up that I can't remember what I was using. I don't have time too experiment. ANy suggestions?

Thanks Andy. My memory is starting to kick in now. These look very similar to what I remember. I got away from playing the lap steel for too long I guess.
