Re: Guitar Craft String Gauges
Todd,
Sorry about not being clear, yes I was talking about string gauges
for the acoustic guitar,
specifically the Crafty style Ovation model 1867.
Robert Fripp uses the following gauges for NST on his electric:
.052 .038 .024 .016 .012 .010
...while other people suggest this set of gauges for electric:
.052 .042 .030 .017 .010 .009
These gauges are accurate as of 1999 or 2000. I don't know if any of
that has changed.

I'm guessing these are gauges recommended for an accoustic. I imagine
you could get away with lighter gauges on an electric. I'd guess .008
or .009 for the first string, .010 or .011 for the second, etc.
