Using the Beefy Slinky set with a 56 swapped out for the low-E (or even a 60!) feels fantastic.

Drop C Fender Scale – Beefy Slinky (11-54) + 56 Helpful for retaining proper tension with a shorter scale. Fender Scale (Option B) – Beefy Slinky (11-54)įor an even slinkier, looser feel. Still feels slinky, but retains a good amount of tension. C Standard Fender Scale (Option A) – Not Even Slinky (12-56) Retains the feeling of normal tension, even with the lowered tuning. Similar to the Skinny Top / Heavy Bottom, but several gauges heavier. D Standard Fender Scale – Beefy Slinky (11-54) Retains the feel of standard tuning even when dropped to a much lower tuning. Using the 11-48 set with the low-E string swapped out for a 52 gives you all of the low-end chug that you need while still feeling like standard tuning on the higher strings. Drop C# Fender Scale – Power Slinky (11-48) + 52 Slightly on the heavier side, while retaining a bit of looseness and slinkiness on the Gibson Scale. Eb Standard Fender Scale – Skinny Top / Heavy Bottom (10-52)įor a tighter feel on the lower strings. Maintains slinkiness on the high strings, and beefs up the feel on the lower strings, especially when dropped. Drop D Both Scales – Skinny Top / Heavy Bottom (10-52)

Preferable for getting a heavier, more Strat-like tension on a Gibson Scale instrument. Gibson Scale – Skinny Top / Heavy Bottom (10-52) Preferable for a looser, Les Paul-like feel on a Fender Scale instrument. Standard set, generally what comes on a guitar stock from the manufacturer.
