Yamaha Stringing scales

[John McKone]

Hi All,

I am restringing a Yamaha C7 and dont' have the original strings avaible to
mic sizes.

The bridge is marked or string gauges, but I seem to recall that the Yamaha
gauges are metric and slighty different than American (i.e. a #15 isn't
always a #15)

Is this true? If so could someone be so kind as to give me a conversion or
expaination of the marked brige numbers?

Thanks in advance (as always)
