What string gauges are considered to be light or medium for acoustic strings?
Q. I've been looking around trying to find what strings i should by but on some sites they say that light strings are .010 but on others they say that they're .012. Also, what brand of string would you recommend? (I'm looking for something under $10)
Asked by whoami? - Tue Nov 25 21:04:40 2008 - - 0 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The exact gauges vary from string manufacturer to string manufacturer. For many brands, light are 12 - 53 and medium are 13 - 56 but you might see a 1 or 2 point variation in some other brand. I use and recommend Elixir Nanoweb light gauge strings even though they're out of your price range. They're fantastic strings that last a long time, never discolor, and completely eliminate finger squeak. Believe me, they're worth the money.

What type of strings would you recommend for low end acoustic sound?
Q. I want strings with very even low end sound I do not like bright sounds at all so the less the better. I have a Fender Acoustic dread knot guitar. I want good strings with a deep tone and no bell ring if they make them. Thanks for your help.
