I have read in different posts that string gauge is important and the size varies with different factors. What needs to be considered when choosing string gauge? Is a string gauge calculator all I need or are there other factors to take into account? Assuming my strings are correctly sized for the tuning I’m using, how much variation can I get away with before changing the gauge? Thanks
