So the string set starts with the fourth string.

Will the tension be bad for the top of my Regal?

thanks,
Drew

John Ely Has a great string gauge chart on his web site. Unfortunately, his site seems to have disappeared. Maybe someone else can jump in here and lead Drew to Joe's site? Or better yet, maybe someone with more knowledge than me can actually answer your question. Good luck!

Thanks Al. I've added this to my Favorites list so I won't lose it again. Hope this helps Drew out too.
