dont get the bass strings all of those can be found in guitar sizes, i would recomend that you check out LaBella strings i put together a custom with them and they sound great and have a good tone to them.

I currently use D addarrio EXL 115's. (11-49), but I want to know what feels like 11's in drop B. I had I think EXL 158's once, but are rare to find by me and since I refuse to buy online ( I detest credit cards, and I'm 16 so I can't use them). What else is good for that kind of stuff? I don't like EB ( Ernie Ball) too much cause they surface is rough. To get an "11's" feeling in Drop D/ Db what do you people recommend for that in drop B.
Different string companies are welcome. I mainly want to experiment for those reasons and a set lasts me 2 months at longest so if any last longer ( other then coated) please let me know. Sorry if any questions are "stupid" I'm a noob.
I've got 10-52 on my Drop D 24.75'' guitar, for my Drop C 25.5'' guitar should I go 11-56 or stick with 10-52? I want to make sure the tension is as close as possible to my Drop D guitar.
Yo guys, what gauge strings should I use for a 5 string in drop G#? Just looking for clarity in the lower register really.
^ your friend doesnt know what hes talking about, just put the strings through the body and you're good to go.
your intonation might be off slightly bug not enough to really be noticeable. you'll be fine.
Intonation is regarding strings being in tune in different spots, ie if you're not intonated an open E might be tuned exactly to E, but at the twelfth fret slightly off. You can adjust this by adjusting the saddles on the bridge, google how to intonate a ToM. Easy stuff, takes about 5-10 minutes.
And it does Zero harm to your guitar.
