If you use a short scale like 24.9 and drop tuning like Open G should/could
you use heavier strings? If I understand correctly, shorter strings need less
tension, but to compensate for the lower tension can you use heavier
strings? How does one compensate the saddle for heavier strings? Now I
feel strung out!!
