Strings

Do jaguars need a special gauge or can i just buy any strings? I thought any would do but my dad wasnt sure

Any gauge you want, but thicker is better. In my opinion 11s are best on a Jag.

any string you want.

you don;t newed certain length or gauge.

altho you do want to get the same gauge everything time in order to avoid doing the intonation everytime you change strings.

personally i have a rule of 10's for my trem guitars, 11s for a hard tails, and then jazz 13s on my jag-stang which is in pieces.

0.11's are what I use - pretty much gives you the same tension as 0.10's on a strat / other full scale.

imo, best off with heavier gauges with such an obtuse angle from tail to bridge. i've moved from 11-50 to 12-54 now. if you can't get used to 11's, then best advice is to tune them up half a step. then when you tune back to normal (after a few days playing or so) you'll have an arm like popeye 😛
