When i refer to different gauges (.11, .10, .09, .12, etc, im referring to the High E string's Gauge, and usually the gauge set)
some people use pretty heavy lower 4 strings, and pretty light high 2 strings, (B and E). there are endless possibilities, some people like .09', some people like .11 or 12 or whatever they might choose. I just need a .10 because 9's feel way too light. going from 12's to 9's is a huge weird step.
