It used to be that many string sets included duplicate high-E and -B
strings, but I haven't seen that for years.

Gretsch strings still come with double 1st and 2nd, except for the sets
that have a wound 3rd string (in this case an extra - plain - 3rd is
suppied).

Could it be I am using the wrong guage? I bought 10s because my
teacher said that's what was on the guitar. The shop I bought it from
said it had 9s (without looking at the guitar).


Do you have a floating bridge? IF you go up a gauge, check your not pulling
your bridge up as your tightening the strings
