Hi All,
I've been playing tenor guitar out of GDAD for a bunch of years, and have a couple questions about string gauges as I don't know much about tension calculation and don't know how to make the online calculators work.
I've always used 42 30 20 14 for GDAD and have been very happy with it. That said, I wonder how balanced the set actually is tension wise, and if something could be pushed one way or the other to balance things out a little more. Any thoughts?
Also, I'm interested in building a set of FCGC (whole step down) strings at the same tension as my 42 30 20 14 GDAD sets (or perhaps the tension adjusted set from the above question). What gauges would I be looking at for FCGC?
In case it matters, I play old Martin 0-18T's.
Thanks very much!
Baron
