Hey y’all . The family recently got a hold of grandpas homemade 12 string, looking to string it up and use Maurice Anderson’s 12 string c6 tuning that I found on bobs website. It is as follows:


Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what string gauges to use for each string? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

d 16
b 17
g 12
e 16
c 16
a 18
g 24
e 28
c 36
a 42
F 54
D 70

Very much appreciated thank you.

Superslide's were 22.5" scale length. If you have a different scale length, you will have to adjust the gauges accordingly
