Help with strings

Hi
Any advice one this would be most appreciated. I've got a Jackson DKMG, and the Jackson website state the string gauges as 9,11,16,24,32,42. Can i only use these gauge strings or can I use other gauges? (say 10,13,17,36,52.60 ghs boomers)

Experiment till you find what feels right for the type of music you want to play. I play mainly play blues and use 12s. It's as a personal thing as boxers or jockey shorts.

Welcome to GT.

I have a DKMG set up with 9s.

If you change gauge you will need to re-set the intonation by moving the saddle back / forward on the trem plate.

You will also need to readjust the hight of the bridge as heavier gauges will pull the bridge forward out of the body housing. This is fixed by tightening the springs at the back however getting it just so can be a time consuming and frustrating process.

SO yes you can change gauges however Id get someone who knows how to set up a FR equipped guitar to help you out the first time. If you are already happy setting up a Fr trem, go for it !!

thanks for the advice...I'll probally give it a go myself... Cheers!!
