QUOTE (Nick6373 @ Aug 23 2015, 10:54 PM)  Hey GMC, I was wondering if it's a bad idea to use a high e string from a set of 11 gauge strings on a guitar strung with a set of 10s? My string broke and I don't have a set of 10 gauge strings  lol.If it is, why's that? Thanks everyone!! not even close to bad. even using a 13 there would be fine if that suited you. you can buy single strings in bulk of one size at little cost. I keep a lot of 1st strings around, as that is the one that primarily breaks. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories...gs&index=11 This post has been edited by fkalich: Aug 24 2015, 08:49 AM |

If you change an entire set from 09 to 011 - it is likely the guitar will need a slight truss rod adjustment. Speaking of which - I have done this with one of my guitars just to practice bending, and it's cool because when you get back to the usual thin gauge things feel so much easier! I used to practise everything on my acoustic, definitely strengthens the muscles and makes the electric strings feel feather light. I might do that again
