If the other strings are rusty or close to breaking, then get whole set.

New set usually around RM20, some brands like elixir is around 40 - 50.

WHy not get a a tuner? for around RM50, you can use it in the future as well.

The lower gauge strings are easier to press down. I was using 0.11 last time, now using 0.09.

Agreed. A brand new set of strings brings out new life into a guitar.

actually I think higher gauge would be more painful because tension would be heavier too... lower gauges are easier to bend and hammer etc too...

I'd get a full pack cos the strings would have worn in for awhile and adding a brand new string changes the balance of the sound because a new string tends to be very bright.
