low E on a 9-42 set

normal A on a 13-58 set

the differnece? 9-42 is really thin and 13-58 is very thick used for low tunings traditionally but guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughn played in standard with 13-58 strings.

What string gauge should you use with a Yamaha AES520 guitar?

I would use 52-10 for B to B tunnings. Drop the gauges for every step up. EX: I currently have 9 gauge strings on mine tuned to D to D or Eb to Eb. I have not tried true Baritone Strings yet. If I did , I would make sure they were tuned E to E(one octave lower than a standard guitar)


How do you replace a string on a Fender Starcaster guitar?

Okay, you're probably referring to the newer low-end strat-copy models Fender is currently producing. If you have an original Starcaster, then it surprises me that you don't know how to change a string. Anyway, as with any Stratocaster, you hold the string where the ball-end is facing down. There should be a backplate with six holes in the lower part of it. Each hole represents where a string will sit on the top of the bridge (located directly above the backplate.) Look at the bridge. There will be six "saddles" that hold the string in place. On each saddle, there are to screws with which, you can adjust "action" (string height)with an Allen wrench or hex key. You put the string through the backplate, guide it through, so that it will come through the saddle and bring the string up the neck. There will be a "nut" at the top of the neck which is cut to let a certain gauge string sit in it (I use nines or ".009 to .042" for my strat). Let the respective sized string sit in the groove of the nut, and bring it toward the machine head (tuner). Fender headstocks are famous for having six inline machine heads, so if you are starting with the top string, you will put it through the shaft of the farthest machine head. And the lowest E string will be placed in the closest machine head, etc. I always wrap each string twice around the shaft of the machine head twice before putting it through. Tighten the string by turning the machine head to the right or left, depending on which head you're turning. Tune it to whatever tuning you like. If you're a beginning guitarist, probably standard tuning. eBGDAE Use a chromatic tuner if you haven't had experience with other instruments.


What kind of guitar picks does jimmy page use?

Ernie Ball RegularsI asked http://www.JimmyPage.co.uk and they said ernie balls, he usually used .009 - .042 stringsThis is incorrect. Page used Ernie Ball Super Slinky 008's for the majority of his live, and studio performances.Even that is incorrect. He used Ernie Ball Super Slinky 009 - 042 (pink pack) for his electric guitar. Just check the Ernie Ball website.The truth is that Jimmy Page has said that he used 008's, as well as 009's. It really depended on the time period.
