Jazz gauges and wound Gs are a must. I've been using 14s for high E for years, too! BE CAREFUL: some necks cannot withstand the extra tension requirements. Check first, unless you want to snap you favorite guitar's neck. (Use heavy cheapo guitars! THE BEST) FYI -for anyone familiar with Sonic Youth, they ALWAYS use heavy gauge strings. That's how they get those powerful overtones and extremely clear tone. - Larry -----Original Message----- From: bedwellm@wellsfargo.com <bedwellm@wellsfargo.com> To: m1cha3l@earthlink.net <m1cha3l@earthlink.net>; Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com <Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com> Date: Monday, October 25, 1999 1:00 PM Subject: RE: guitar strings >I have been playing .14's for the last couple years.
