******************************************************************************
*I had to modify my guitar with both heavier and lighter string gauges
to counter the tuning accordingly.
For example --- string gauges from HI to LOW are:
1st string/G = 0.008 gauge string
2nd string/E = 0.010 gauge string
3rd string/A = 0.016 gauge string
4th string/D = 0.024 gauge string
5th string/G = 0.042 gauge string
6th string/C = 0.052 gauge string
