STRING GAUGES

Sonny Jenkins · From: Texas Masonic Retirement Center,,,Arlington Tx

I'm tuning these lap steels that I'm building to a B6 so they will be commensurate with my PSG universal tuning. They are 22 1/2" scale and are tuned ,lo to hi G#, B, D#, F#, G#, B, D#, F#, or 6,1,3,5,6,1,3,5 Right now I'm using the gauges recommended for C6, but being a half step lower,,,plus being a shorter scale than PSG,,,I need some recommendations?????

I have found John Elys string page to be a big help for me.

For shorter scales, you want to lean to the heavier side of the chart.

Edit: Steinar beat me to it Smile
