Top and Bottom Guitar Strings


Top: the highest note strings (1st, 2nd, 3rd).

Bottom: the lower note strings (6th, 5th, 4th).

A light top might range from 0.008 to 0.010.
A medium top is usually considered 0.011.
A heavy top usually starts at 0.012.

A heavy bottom usually has a lower E string gage of 0.052.
An extra heavy bottom would be of around 0.056.
A heavier bottom is better for lower tunings, such as "Drop D".
