Don't be afraid of light gauges

Alex<randomInteger> 06.04.2021

I've been always told that heavy strings are good for you. I believed and tried to play with sets like 10-46, 10-52, or even 11-56. And I was wondering why it was so hard to play bends and bar chords, like an F major :)
...and then I realized that there existed lighter gauges, and for a good reason :)
Pros of light strings:
- less tension in the left hand;
- more accurate bends;
- you'll develop lighter touch and play faster;
- you'll love your guitar more because it's so comfortable to play :)

I don't really know what heavy gauges are good for. More sustain? More output? Having better control and less tension seems much more important to me.

My guitar is 24.75", standard tuning. I totally enjoy how it feels with the 8.5-40 set, I don't even want to sell it anymore.

Great option.

Simply, the missing link between 8s and 9s. Recommended!

Ideal lighter gauge strings

DanG88 30.07.2022

Really enjoy the tension of these, since they're 8.5 which is just a slightly less tight feeling than 9's. The low strings are slightly thicker than a usual 8 gauge set too, so it feels more balanced.

Impressed and would use again!
