Blank Dave Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm wondering what is the preferred gauge of strings to use for cables and bionics? Now I know everyone will use their own sizes, but I'm sure most will agree the best results would fall with in a certain range.

Jalgar Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I save all my old strings after I remove them from my guitars. I use 10-46 sets. That give me three different gauges of wound strings for cables and three different gauges of plain strings for wiring. As far as preferences, I like using the .046 for vehicles and dreads. The .036 is good for termies and oblits. For basic troops I use the .026 and .036. The .046 always looks a bit off to me for standard troops.

micahwc Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I want to use my .135 5 string bass strings for something, but it would probably have to be a knight or terrain piece.

Blank Dave Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 I want to use my .135 5 string bass strings for something, but it would probably have to be a knight or terrain piece. I giggled when you said that, because I had thought earlier "what would I use an E string on." Never thought of a B string.

Claws and Effect Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Sucks when you need a piece that is too short to bend properly. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332675-guitar-strings/#findComment-4712081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svartmetall Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I have a house full of guitars; it was only a few days into me starting the hobby when I discovered that the .032" A string from a standard set of 9s is a perfect match for the hole made by the drill bit in GW's pin vice. BTW this is my guitar collection a few years ago: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/Svartmetall/Misc/GuitarCollection20-09-07.jpg Since then, I've sold the mandolin (just too damn small for my sausage fingers) and added a Telecaster, an Epiphone Sheraton semi-acoustic, an Ibanez 8-string, a Washburn Tonewood with the ash body and a 10-string classical...

Nice. I just have 4, and had to quit playing due to issues with my fretting hand wrist. My fingers go numb if I play too long, and I I try to push through it my wrist is in agony for several days.
