    Should you increase the tension for a gut string job, say by 2 or 3 pounds? Let's say you like your tension at 62 with a multi. . . do you string a gut hybrid a couple pounds tighter?

    I would go with the same tension that you used with a multi.

    Don not go up any tension, if anything you may want to go lower depending on the guage and string pattern.
