C6th string gauge recommendations

Post by Tim McKane »

Hi
I use the prepackaged c6th strings for my 22.5" scale lap steel

I'd like to tune my Oahu squareneck guitar (non Reso) 24.5" scale in c6th. Any recommendations for guages?

Thank you

Check John Ely's site. He has a table with string gauges for different scale lengths and gives his preferred gauges.
