.066 string for low B on Ibanez RG 1527 - Anyone uses it?

Stench of Necropsy · 01-20-2007, 04:45 PM

Hi everyone!

I've come across some very useful info about optimum gauges and I'd like to first of all, thank Mind Riot and everyone else who wrote those threads about optimum gauges! They helped a lot of newbies like myself!

What I wanted to ask was specifically about the .066 gauge string for the low B. I wanted to know whether that string would fit in the hole of the tuner (on the RG 1527). Perhaps if there's anyone who's done it can confirm this, thanks!

I've used a .066 D'Addario on my RG7620 for quite some time, no problem at all.
now I have a .068 Elixir on there and its still no problem so you'll be fine

on my old RG1077XL, i used a .068 no problems.

Stench of Necropsy · 01-20-2007, 05:21 PM

Thank you very much, guys!

I was thinking I'd had to drill the tuner and stuff.

Hexer · 01-20-2007, 05:26 PM

noooooo, you'll only have to do that if you get some REALLY heavy strings

I think a .070 should work without drilling too, not shure about anything beyond that though

I had to drill my tuner on the hellraiser to fit with a .68. I didnt have to with my 007 though. And both of those guitars Have the same tuners. So you might have to drill anyway. Probably not though.

Jävlar, det skulle vara jobbigt!

Seedawakener · 01-20-2007, 05:47 PM

inte särskilt

Vilken gitarrtekniker som helst kan fixa det på nån sekund.

Stench of Necropsy · 01-20-2007, 06:07 PM

That's right, my friend. A guitar tech would sort that out no problem.

A hail to old school Swedish Death Metal!

If it doesnt you can always unwind the string to where you need it. I have to do that on my LTD, although I use a .074
