I got a the s7320 recently and in drop a the a string is pretty floppy.

What would be a good gauge to get for the a string?
thanks

they only put a .052 or .054 on there stock.. Should try bumping it up to about .060 or .062 if not more.

Maybe this will help:

I think a .60 should be good for A. Experimentation is the key. I personally like my A to be 58/60 - other members on here start at 64 and go up to 70.

So try them out. However note the thicker you get the crappier the tone.

I suggest something about from 62 to 68

Untrue! (to a certain extent) But we all have opinions. I'd say try out a .074

I've noticed quite the opposite, personally.

Really? I hav efound that the thicker I go (thickest I went was 64), the less tone it has. I mean the tone from the low E was so much better than compared to the low B.

I was running Daddarios with 64 as a b and 52 as E.

Metal Ken · 09-29-2007, 04:10 PM

Well, on the UV right now, i got a 46 as an E and a 65 as a B.

I noticed when you get into the 60s, the feel and sound is much more in line with the other strings. It sounds much meaner amped up, as well.
