Tim Chapple Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 A Mustang La Bella string question. The 760F MUS and the 760FL MUS appear to be the same gauge - 43/60/82/104 - Can anyone tell me what the difference between the two is?

I’m reasonably confident the 760F-MUS are for stringing through the body and 760FL are for top loading. I had some 760F-MUS on a 70’s Mustang and they sounded great!
