∙ 12y ago90% chance if its a beginner guitar you got either light strings or regular gauge strings, whenever I say gauge it means set, I've played guitar for a long time and this is just to help everyone out who see's this.
in a extra light set as in 8-38 its a 15
in a light gauge set as in 9-42 its a 16
in a regular light gauge 10-46 site its a 17
in a medium gauge set 11-50 its usually a 19
in a heavy gauge 12-52 set its a 20
in a death metal set 13-58 its a 26
interesting fact if you switch to a much heavier set like 12-52 you can use all the strings from a 9-42 set except the high E to replace the bottom 5 strings... so do whatever with the high E...pretend the high E is the B string in the set and make your way up from there. Easy right guys.
the thicker the string the better it is for low tuning , the thinner the easier they break and just because it says low E on the packette doesnt mean anything, you can use them wherever, just dont go nuts with the gauge.
