Beefy, hybrid, not even, power, regular, skinny top heavy bottom, super** A: Another viewpoint is to think of the string gauge in terms of how easy you want the strings to feel and play under your fingers. Beginners and others may find “9” gauge strings to be the slinkiest and most easy to use while still being strong and relatively unbreakable. “10” gauge strings often feel very easy to use on guitars with shorter scale length than Stratocasters. Gibson guitars or guitars designated as ‘short scale’, because these strings provide better tension than 9’s at the same scale length. Yes, scale length changes the feel of the tension of the string. Therefore 9’s feel looser on a short scale guitar like a Gibson, compared to using 10 gauge strings on the same guitar. For many players 10’s feel better on short scale guitars because the playability is improved by the increased increased tension of the 10’s when used on the shorter scale guitars. Players usually want comfortable playability that is appropriate for individual playing skill levels as well as appropriate for the scale length of the guitar. Many string gauges are available to select from when trying to find the best string gauge for a particular guitar. Comparing different gauges on a guitar should reveal that there are significant differences in feel and playability. This is particularly important with baritone guitars. Research shows that specific baritone guitars work best when you string them up with ‘specific gauge’ strings. These string gauges have been determined by players. A good idea is to research the internet and find out the string gauge that is recommended for your particular model baritone guitar and preferred tuning [ie standard ‘A’ tuning] and start with those recommended strings. More complicated is determining a good string gauge for a home brew baritone guitar that has been converted from a conventional guitar on hand into a homemade baritone guitar. It’s complicated because the homemade baritone will be ‘down tuned’ to some tuning. This introduces slack into the strings. Finding the best string gauge and string tension will make the homemade baritone much more playable. If you make your own homemade baritone you will encounter many challenges, solutions to which you can find solutions from others that went before you on the internet discussion forums. This is because most manufactured baritone guitars are long scale guitars, often close to 30”. Scale length affects string tension. This relationship may require some experimentation or research in order to find workable string gauges for the homemade baritone. Purchasing a manufactured baritone guitar might be a better idea than converting a random on hand little used guitar. This homemade route might be unproven unpredictable and it might be expensive. Aside from trying to find the best strings for your baritone a player can greatly benefit from having had determined the most enjoyable string gauge for a favorite guitar. For instance you might find that you really dig the 10 - 52 skinny top heavy bottom strings that you just put on your new Fender Jaguar - and this gauge really opened up your new jag with easy bends and roaring chords! Finding your favorite string gauges can make playing easier and more comfortable, and they can make your guitar sound more like the way you want it to sound. Make it sound more like you hear it in your head. Finding the right string gauge can make a major change in the quality of your playing, tone, and ease of playing. **Q: Do these include every string?** A: It is a complete 6 string set. At least from me... Jason FretNation **Q: If used on a Floyd rose, if the gauge is the same does it have to be re-setup or is the tension the same as comparable Ernie Ball strings?** A: Thank you for the question. The tension is the same on the Paradigm strings as other strings. You do not need to reset the Floyd Rose tremolo. Kind Regards, Troy **Q: How do these compare to ernie ball cobalts? i have cobalts for "extra magnetism" because i use a sustainiac pickup and want max effect.** A: They last LONGER. I THINK there is a higher carbon content in these, in other words, more magnetisim. I could be wrong and it includes the cobalt along with INSANE longevity. I use string cleaner with these. They are great. It really amounts to how much you need/want to change your strings. These strings stay crispy for along time, even when they should be dull they retain a sort of spank. Maybe they resist corrosion on a molecular level or something? They cost 3x the amount of Regular slinkys and THEY WILL PERFORM AND LAST ACCORDINGLY! Without any coatings. The same awesome slinky feel as always. I also think they over wing these - AKA ... they use a technique like DR ... essentially winding a low E string at around say, .59 and they over tighten in onto their specially designed hex core until it measures .52. DR has been doing this for decades and it makes a difference as there is more matter in the same space. I really suggest buying pack. I know its crazy but if you noticed the difference with the cobalt, try these and see if you like the longevity/how long they last you. Don't leave them in the sun, in dust etc. I leave my axe on a music stand so I cant say too much. I never have used a 7 string guitar. 5 string bass sure. Oh. And these DO NOT BREAK. EVER! I had one break due to a INSANELY sharp edge on the saddle the string was sitting on. Was a new Chibson (Harley Benton). Fixed that though. Try to break them. Within reason. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long lasting excellent strings. *by J***G on 9 February 2026* Worth the extra cash.
