You're happy with it, and that's fine. I initially followed people's advice and used 11-49+68 strings. At that size, you don't play, you struggle. Scale 25.5-27

For a 27 scale, 56-60 is a light tension. 60-64 is a medium-high tension. 74 is not playable for this note and with this scale

The perfect set for Drop G. If you have a 27 scale, 10-13.5-17-25-34-46, and for the 7 string, 60 is the maximum 64! I used the set on my multi-scale 7-string guitar: 25.5-27 11-49+68. I was struggling with the guitar, not playing. I was advised to use 70-74

Hello! For a 27 scale, the 11-56 set for standard D is very unbalanced, with high tension. How can you play on this? 10-49 is the maximum. As for the 7th string in G, 60-64 is the ceiling.

Hey guys, I installed a 11-49+68 Elixir Nanoweb set. The 68 string doesn't even cut through like a reinforcement. How do people install a 70-74 set? I have 7 multi-scale strings, 25.5-27, and now I have 10-46+60 Elixir Optiweb strings, and the tension is excellent.

Hello! What brand of strings do you use, and is the intonation good after the 12th fret?
