>I was just wondering since aparently there are other players tuning >to fifths and tuning a high E string to G if there is a string size >that wont break as easily to tune up to G. A standard 0.09" should take a G tuning but if they are breaking try a 0.08" or a 0.085 if you can find one. You get a tradeoff between tension and strength but it should work ok. Bear in mind that Fripp uses a Gibson scale length guitar (24 3/4") so if you use Fender scale (25 1/2") the string tension will be greater you will be more likely to break strings. Martin Shellard
