I've said this many times, you figure from A to E on a pack of 10 gague strings (which is by standards considered heavier cause most players use 9's in standard tuning), it goes, 26 36 46,
so you figure a 56 would be the B string. But since im in A, i wanted to drop to a 58, but they dont have 58 so i went for a 59. How do your necks hold up to this preassure? And how do your trem cavities look? It just get's to the point where the sound gets muddy cause the strings bearly vibrates. And can you guys even still use the whammy without using two hands?

Please forgive me, i am not criticising, only trying to understand. Don't get pissed.

that's what i use as well, the EB Hybrid set + a 59. i also wanted a 58, but they didn't have one :p

i use d'addario's, exl-125. But it's the exact same gagues as the ernie ball hybrids. then i just buy the 59.

Man, everything went perfect!
Only had to add one spring, didn't have to file or drill anything. The tone is orgasmic. Hehe.
