What gauge guitar strings should a beginner use?
Which gauge is best for a beginner? Here at Strings Direct we always say that a lighter gauge set is best for beginners. Our recommendation for a good gauge for beginners would be 10-47 or 11-52. Of course, if you feel these are too heavy, there are a handful of brands who also produce sets beginning with a 9.
