JTR410 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Does anyone know what the thickest gauge string on the Low E can be for the Synapse SS-2F and the ST-2FPA? This would be helpful to know if you can't get a hold of Steinberger Doubleball strings and have to resort to using an off brand single ball set of strings. Thanks for the info!

The neck on the Synapse is sturdy enough to handle any set of guitar strings on the market currently. You may need to adjust the neck relief for a major change in gauge.

DannyTaki Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Just in case you plan on putting a set of baritone strings on your transcale, I found that a 72-gauge 6th string did not fit through the headpiece. I had to do some... "adjusting" let's say (which definitely did not involve a power drill...) to make the string fit through. It seems to work fine now, though.

JTR410 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Sweet! Yeah I was thinking about slapping on the Bari set offered by Ernie Ball (12-73)...But who knows, lately I've been thinking about just using a Not Even Slinky set (12-56) and just playing in Drop C. I believe Drop A would be overkill...and the other band members would have a hard time adjusting, not to mention we'd no longer need the bass player. Thanks!

Eagle Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 The only limitation is the diameter of the string clamp hole, as the neck is thicker than a lamppost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTR410 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 I received this from Gibson Support: Maximum diameters for conventional single ball strings for the Synapse and Z-Series are, from the low string to the high string: inches .080 .070 .060 .055 .045 .038 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTR410 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Lol! Yeah, speaking about that, now that I think of it, I believe Meshuggah uses a .070 as thier thickest gauge string and they tune down much further than Drop C! Low, Low Riffaging!!!
