Guitar Harmonics Tuning
What guitar strings should I use for Drop C tuning?
Now I have 54 gauge strings on my American Fender Stratocaster. I love to play metal, includes fast picking, string skipping, pinch harmonics, and drop tuning. Currently, I am in Drop C tuning. My 54 Set string gauge is too thick, and Sometimes it is difficult to make a good pinch harmonic sound on the lower strings. I heard that the thin ropes help thinnner this.I used to have strings, which were 42-46 calibers. They were too thin for Drop C tuning though. Which is why I bumped it a little. My friend says 48 gauge strings are perfect for Drop C, but I want to be absolutely sure are the strings right before I replace the 54 indicators. Gutiar players respond with their opinion. Thank you!
This does not correspond to my experience ... For me, the higher the gauge string you can play comfortably, the better, as higher gauge string tends to equal better tone, sustain "thickness", and tend to stay in tune a little better too. Pinch harmonics tend to be more a matter of technique than anything else, in my opinion, although Pickups and good gear will help a bit. So no, I would not. If you can do them at all now, then futz with the settings your amplifier, the height of the collector, and especially the technique before changing string gauges. Saul
