Electric Guitar Strings Gauge

Electric Guitar Strings Gauge refers to the diameter of the string. Electric guitar strings come in diverse gauges or diameters. Many lead guitar players and jazz musicians tend to favor thinner (lighter) gauge strings that are faster and easier to bend, while bluegrass guitar players tend towards intermediate gauge strings for more volume and greater tone for picking strumming. Rhythm guitar players might favor medium or heavy gauge strings for the wow factor they provide in plain volume and full sound.

Gauge categorizations differ among makers for electric guitar strings, but are generally separated into extra super light, super light, light, medium, medium heavy, heavy and super heavy. At one time you find strings that befit you, mention the dimensions of each string on the packaging. If you want to experimentation with sets from other makers, name to genuine gauge rather than categorization. The medium set you have come to like might be classed differently from another string maker, or might include different gauges than your reference set.
