Though you probably will need to adjsut intonation and maybe the floyd angle whatever new string you use if you don't want to continue with the old ones brand/thickness.

Laurent I am sure buying a set of vernier calipers will allow you to measure the string gauge easy enough. Should be able to pick a set up for cheap and very handy to have.

Then, if you keep the same brand you don't need to make too much adjustment every time you change strings. If you use standard tuning on this guitar, 09 is ok, as well as 010 if you prefer thicker strings. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
