What gauge is the G string on an electric guitar?
So that’s a gauge 9 high E string, an 11 for the B string, gauge 16 G string and then gauges 24, 32 and 42 for the D, A and low E strings. You’ll also notice that the three treble strings are unwound or plain whereas the bass strings are wound to make them thicker and produce a bigger, more resonant tone.
