What gauge strings should be used? Your Les Paul comes strung with “10’s” – which
means the high-E string is .010 inches in diameter. The low-E is .046 inches in diam-
e t e r. The set is designed so that all six strings have the same amount of tension, ensur-
ing that the action and the volume will be consistent across the entire fingerboard .
Gibson offers “9’s,” “11’s” and a variety of other gauges and compositions, all of
which are balanced for consistent tension.
What brand of strings should be used? Gibson has been making its own strings since
1907, and Gibson has more experience than any other string maker when it comes to
matching strings to Gibson guitars. Gibson strings are manufactured to exacting stan-
d a r ds to achieve the highest level of quality and perf o r mance.
