more tension

[playerunk]

so i got a set of ghs precison flats..put them on..and the E string is a bit floppy compared to the rest of the strings..and when i get to drop D it get's worse..

what is the main reason behind this..i had a set of fender flats prior which were lighter gauge but the E was a bit better.

what should i be looking at the next time i buy strings if i want high(er) tension ?

Unfortunately a lot of string makers don't bother to inform us of the tension of their strings.

Within a string model you can increase tension by going to a thicker string. Jumping from model to model or from maker to maker gets fun, unless you stick to those who provide information about their products.

get some chromes

+1 on the D'addario chromes. My tired 50 year old fingers hate 'em, but they're probably just the thing for you.

+1 on the Chromes. Your neck might need some adjustment after you put them on.

chromes have medium high tension.. if you want more tension that them.. try some fender or rotosound flats
