Plain Steel .008" Guitar String (for acoustic or electric)

Plain Steel .008" Guitar String (for acoustic or electric)

Q: Would this be suitable as E1st?

You _could_ use it as your first E string, (Stevie Ray Vaughan was renowned to use a ‘set of 13 strings) but a ‘typical thickness’ for electric guitars start at ‘9s’ to ‘11s’... it also depends on the thickness of your other strings. If your 2nd string is an 11, you don’t want a 13 as your first string! If the above sounds like gobbledegook, just know that a “set of 9s” is a set of six strings with the thinnest being 0.009 of an inch. A typical set of 9s will run from a 0.009 string, to a 0.042 string (9, 11, 16, 24, 32, 42). Your guitar is likely setup (its intonation, nut groove widths, string action height, string spacing, etc) for a given typical set of strings. It’s a good idea not to deviate too far away (max one size) from what it’s setup for. Hope that helps.

Q: Which one of these should I buy to replace the high 'e'? Many thanks.

Hi, The gauge of the high 'E' string you should choose will depend on the gauges of the other strings you already have fitted. Usually, but not always, string sets are described as something like ultra light, light, medium, heavy and each set has a matched group. The choice of a string set is largely down to personal preference but naturally the performance of the strings will vary depending on gauge and also the scale length of the instrument one is fitting them to. A typical high 'E' string gauge would be 0.008" - 0.010" but other gauges could be chosen. Have a look at the sets of strings that are on sale to get more of an idea.
