Dear Jim, The Hamburgs that I have measured have metric sizes, although the gauge numbers on the plate correspond to the New York scaling for the same model. In other words, most sizes up until about 13 1/2 or so are approximately one-half size smaller than their American counterparts. I would carefully measure the original wire if it is still in place. Regards, Charles Charles >et al; > RE: S&S 'D', Hamburg, 10-12 years old....Question- did/does the Hamburg >factory use metric size wire or standard music wire sizes? >Jim Bryant (FL)
