Heaviest string gauge for Custom 24

[CJA76]

I have been using Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalts 10-46. Would like to tune down a whole step, and if it would work down to Open C. At what gauge would I have to modify the nut? Thanks

If it came with 10s, anything > 10. Or less than 9.

At least that would be the answer for me....

I think with the winged tuners I've went as low as a 52, if I can remember correctly..

I use Ernie Ball Beefy Slinkys (.011-.054) on my drop tune guitars. One I have in Standard C# and the other in Drop B.

That string gauge works just fine.

Oh, and I did not need to modify the nut.

With or without a tremolo?

I have a 2011 Core line Custom 24 with the tremolo

There are heavy strings, and then, then are REALLY heavy strings...

You can go 11s easily ( might have to touch the nut a bit ) and adjust the trem springs
I have seen 12s on Gibsons and fenders so Im figuring a PRS could do that with no issues just a good set up
Contact PTC they will give you the 100% facts

I have Cobalt 11s on mine and only had to adjust the trem spring claw. It sounds great.

What gauge of strings, 11 to ?

 

[Boogie]

11-48. As close to the DGT set gauge as I can get (which is 11-49).
