Does the truss rod not come into factor as much?

Noone can possibly play the guitar as badly as me. There can be only one.

i don't believe it has to have anything to do with how somebody "wants it to be" though. the fact is, if changing the diameter of the strings by infinitesimal amounts causes everything from neck bowing to intonation to saddle fit issues, obviously there's much more to the equation than "feel." that's not to say that how a guitarist likes the touch and tension to his/her fingers isn't important, but clearly you recognize that changing string gauge has many more implications than that, right?bubbles_horwitz wrote:say for 10's we have a diameter of 10 thousandths of an inch (on the high e string), while with 11's we have a diameter of 11 thousandths of an inch. the difference in mass per inch isn't very big (i know diameter isn't mass, but the effect .001" change in diameter will have on the mass is insignificant). the difference is more noticeable on the lower strings, but it's not nearly as much as you seem to want it to be.
yes, i realize that. my point is that string gauge won't make or break a guitar. a mustang isn't gonna suck with 10's and then be magically delicious with 11's. unless you happen to prefer 11's. in which case, any guitar will feel better with them.dots wrote:i don't believe it has to have anything to do with how somebody "wants it to be" though. the fact is, if changing the diameter of the strings by infinitesimal amounts causes everything from neck bowing to intonation to saddle fit issues, obviously there's much more to the equation than "feel." that's not to say that how a guitarist likes the touch and tension to his/her fingers isn't important, but clearly you recognize that changing string gauge has many more implications than that, right?bubbles_horwitz wrote:say for 10's we have a diameter of 10 thousandths of an inch (on the high e string), while with 11's we have a diameter of 11 thousandths of an inch. the difference in mass per inch isn't very big (i know diameter isn't mass, but the effect .001" change in diameter will have on the mass is insignificant). the difference is more noticeable on the lower strings, but it's not nearly as much as you seem to want it to be.
