Hi tgchan,

This is interesting data, but what are you planning to get from all of this? Also, just me being a normal person, I'm thinking that the "travel/distance" during a bend will always be the same regardless of string gauge.

Remember, string gauge is just the thickness of the string, and the length of the string that is being bent will always be the same if testing multiple string types on the same guitar. It sounds like you are saying that string gauge determines string length, but I'm sure that's not what you are intending.

I think the more important question to ask is again, what are you trying to get out of this?

Either way, it's an interesting experiment!
