Third neck B11th.
These are my gauges for 22.5" Scale
from the nearest neck..
E13th
1= E .016
2= C# .018
3= B .020
4= G# .024 PLAIN OR .026 WOUND
5= E .032 WOUND
6= D .034 WOUND
7= B .038 WOUND
8= E .060 WOUND
C6th neck
1= E .014 OR .015
2= C .017
3= A .020
4= G .022 PLAIN OR .024 WOUND
5= E .032
6= C .036
7= Bb .040
8= C .068
B11th neck
1= E .015
2= C# .017
3= A .020 PLAIN
4= F# .026 WOUND
5= D# .032
6= B .038
7= A .048
8= B .070
The reason the gauges for the same note on different necks is sometimes different, is to do with string tension balance and matching tonality..
Plus I now think the neck was tuned wrong
