yes. the thickness of the strings sarting with the high e string. but only .o1 hope this helps-ken
For the same gauge designation, yes. "Standard" or "Regular" gauge acoustic strings are .013 to .056. Those would be considered very heavy strings on electric guitar, where "Standard" or "Regular" gauge strings would be .010 to .046.
Yes, they do. The gauge of a guitar string determines its thickness and therefore its pitch.
Change out the strings with a lighter gauge. (Get thinner strings) ---Shawn

There is no "correct" gauge for guitar strings. Use whichever gauge is comfortable for you. Higher gauge strings will ring louder and longer, but sustain and volume aren't as much of an issue with electric guitars as they are for acoustic guitars. If you're really unhappy with the sound of your current strings, try another brand or move to a higher gauge once you build up some finger strength.
The guage of guitar strings that work best for sound will depend on the type of guitar that is being played. A person should consider guitar strings that are under a 10 guage to avoid bending.
It is down to personal preference as to which strings are best for an archtop guitar. Chromes and flatwound strings are both popular. Light gauge strings are preferable as they put less pressure on the neck.
Guitar string gauge is a personal preference. However, for heavy metal you will most likely want to use a lighter string.
Yes you can put 9 gauge strings on a Les Paul, and any other electric guitar. If you are switching from a different gauge you must re-innotate your guitar so the neck has the right amount of tension on it, to much or to little tension and it is bad for the neck.
Yes. It will change the tone of the guitar. Heavier strings tend to give you more of a rounded, bubbly sound whereas lighter gauge strings will give you a sharper, crisper sound. Jazz guitarists tend to use larger gauge strings whereas shred guitarists generally use lighter gauge strings. That is just one example.
Of course you can. You can also put Fender strings on a Gibson. Nothing bad will happen. Just make any necessary truss rod adjustments if you are putting different gauge strings on a guitar.
high gauge to get a better sound at dropped tunings.
