2013 Gibson Les Paul Standard Koa String Gauge 9-46?

[Acid Test]

I bought a 2013 Gibson Les Paul Standard with a Koa top as part of the clearances. I measured the string gauges and came up with 9-11-16-26-36-46. Can anybody confirm that this is a gauge Gibson used for some 2013s?

9's are (I think) pretty much the standard gauge that'll come on a lot of new electric guitars. I'm not too familiar with string gauges, I have the used the same set since I started playing but those numbers sound right.

Honestly what does it matter.

a lot...well, if it got set up with 9's and on puts 10's...some would be annoyed

I also thought that they came with 10's...or that may just be Fender

It matters to me whether the guitar I spent $$$ for was new or a return. There was something else that has me wondering that it was a return as well. Wondering if the guitar originally had 10-46s on it.

Could be possible. Gibson has a string pack "Ultra Light Medium Custom" at this gauge combination.

Measured my 2013 Standard Koa. It measures 9's, the rest of my Les Pauls came with 10's. Fenders come with 9's.

Thanks. You know, I really like this gauge.

I recently purchased a Studio Deluxe II and it "may" have come with 9's on it. I installed a set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky's (10 - 46 ga.) and they feel a little thicker than the set I just too off of it. The owner's manual states that my guitar came from the factory with 10's, but the "feel" is different with the new ones. Wouldn't be surprised if it came with the "Les Paul Signature" series strings... http://www.gibson.com/jp-jp/Divisions/Gibson Gear/Strings/Legendary Series/LesPaul/

My 13' Standard and Traditional both came with 9's.

How cool!

Didn't know he used mixed gauges.

That's like the EB hybrid set.

Personally, with my ham handed habits I need an 11

Or I break the "e" too quickly
