Factory string gauge in a Gothic Les Paul ??

Gg2 · 10-08-2009, 11:57 PM

Hi guys!

I'm wondering what string gauge is the default (used in factory) for a Gothic Les Paul??. I found this http://www.epiphone.com/images/StringGauges.pdf and says that the default is .10 - .46, but I don't know how accurate or up to date is.

Thanks in advance.

That is correct - for all Les Pauls.

Thanks diceman!!

I was thinking in change these .10 to .9. It's necessary to make changes in the original setup? any problem with the nut ? do you recommend to stay with the original gauge? what brand of strings do you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

9's feel too light to me. Your nut slots should be fine - might need to do a slight truss rod adjustment.

I use Elixer (nanoweb) 10's - all the time, every time!
