Hi guys,
Having recently purchased a new guitar, I'm considering putting some heavier strings on my old telecaster to use for when I play in D standard (two steps down). At the moment I'm using Ernie Ball Regular Slinky's (9-46) and considering going up to 11-52 or 11-54s. What are people's thoughts on this?

Thanks,
gregja21.

I think I'd go heavier still. Maybe 12-54 or even 13-56

Could be a good plan!...... certainly would sound 'bigger'.....
If you decide to do that dont forget a good supply of Nut Sauce or could even involve a nut re-cut.
But at least. if you did that you could also get down to that illusive drop A... :D
