I suppose the 12str gauges are the same till
the last two strings. Just wondering what
they might be?
Thanks

If you're talking about extended E9 with a low G# and E, I use a .046w and .056w respectively.

Thank you gentlemen. May all your G#'s stay
that way.

On my Anapeg I use:
1 - 011
2 - 014
3 - 010
4 - 013
5 - 016
6 - 020 W
7 - 024
8 - 028
9 - 034
10- 044
11- 054
12- 068
All plain strings are one "number" lighter than usual, and all wounded strings are two "numbers" lighter than what most people use.
I strarted using this after advice from Noel Anstead (Anapeg guitars) and it works great. I never broke strings earlier, and surtenly I won't now. I also find that I pan pick lighter on the strings to get the same effekt/sound as with heavyer strings.
-My opinion of course...
