Ger the man

Hi all,
I bought this a few months back and play it quite a bit.

Im noticing that that the B and high E string dont stay in tune as well as they used to. I always wipe the fretboard after use, also how do you tell which string gauge you are using?

Thanks

You check the packaging of the strings you put on

or if you haven't changed the strings, you check the specs of the guitar on the Fender site

Strings Fender Super 250L, Nickel Plated Steel,
Gauges: (.009, .011, .016, .024, .032, .042),
p/n 073-0250-003

There are ways to keep strings in tune, there was a post about it only recently. Old strings are no more likely to go out of tune than new ones.

I had the same query with a guitar i bought and i was wondering what gauge strings were on it. You can measure it with a set of calipers that meausures inches. If you go out and buy a set of "10's" for a guitar it means that the high e string is .010 of an inch , "11's" have the 1st string width of .011 of an inch etc etc.

Would it not be easier just to buy the strings you want?
