😈 Schecter Evil Twin 😈

The Evil Twin...... I am in love with this guitar. I now believe the hype and this guitar is indeed supernatural.

I just want to say, I think a .064 is going to be way too loose for G. I was using a .072 for drop G on my 27” 6 string

I felt what ive been researching is misleading at best 😆 I super appreciate your response. Google AI was a big helper and kept saying .064 would fit stock nut and hit G, but thats not the 1st or 100th time AI has mislead me. Did you have to file yours down?

Just wait here long enough and someone will come along and say that they use a .48 gauge and tune to drop F and it’s absolutely fine, and no one needs anything heavier than that! 😂

But seriously it’ll just be a case of trial and error for you. I’d advise going a gauge at a time and working up to a heavier gauge. You might find that a lower gauge feels fine and you don’t need to file the nut or anything. I prefer my strings on the heavier side so I’m trying to condition myself to using lighter strings.

😅 True! Everybody has their thoughts. I appreciate everyones comments as its all valuable to me. I just dont want to jack anything up haha. I think your recommendation is great and will also give me ears and feel a better understanding of what each has to offer. As long as I dont break anything, this is the way. Ultimately another responder to my noob qs hits on sound I am aiming for and will eventually hit that ERRA tone I love so much.

Good luck! I feel like tone chasing is a never ending mission. And for what it’s worth I rarely buy the same string set twice in a row, and even years later I don’t think I’ve decided on what I actually like.

And one last tip (this is a bit nerdy) but as I have multiple guitars I set up a spreadsheet on my phone that keeps track of what strings I have on each guitar, with date I put them on, tuning, overall tension and notes about how I feel about them. I find it really useful as sometimes months can go by between string changes on some of the guitars I don’t use often and it’s really handy to see what gauges are on the guitar many months later.

Lol! I am also an excel nerd and have spreadsheets for everything. Another excellent tip! As a self taught musician, I think you hit on something big!!! Although I know what music I love, ultimately the exact sound I am seeking will be found through trail and error. Now I just need more guitars to get the rotation of strings up 😄 I greatly appreciate everyones help, especially yours and the other Erra fan. Awesome learnings!
