thx . that was a good comparison. I liked the video
I just bought a new set of 11's for my gear4music trravel guitar. My Pops is really good at re-stringing guitars. The thin E string is delicoate! Sometimes it can break whilst tuning it to pitch!
Your example using 2 of the same guitars to make a point is irrelevant. I have done the same thing and found out every guitar no matter how they look have totally different characteristics. You would be better off trying a Gibson with 24 3/4" scale and 12's. For your own satisfaction you will be amazed how much easier it is to play and have less strain on your playing ability.
So for fingerstyle is better using 0.10?
Custom lights sound awesome. I might be biased cause those and Nickle brass/bronze (I think they are called retros?) are my go toos for my style. I tune the lights to Eb cause I have some issues with my hands and they aren’t that strong these days. Thanks for the review 7 years down the line it still helps me make decisions!
I noticed you didn't include super light 9 gauge acoustic strings. It seems they are hard to find. My fingers want the lightest strings as I can find. Do they exist?
Thanks a lot
Thank you! Very helpful. Mucho Gracias
I used to think medium gauge will give you balls, but seems like it gives you dullness
I only use medium or heavy gauge strings on solid mahogany or koa or any other hard wood topped guitars not really necessary on spruce or cedar topped guitars but on hard wood topped guitars they need the thicker strings and they love it
Excellent video. Thanks
What song is 2:35 from?
Custom Light
Who cares about your personal gear list?
custom light for me .thanks send me 3 sets
Acoustic life looked way different back then
I dont know I like the sounds of the light and extra light
I have 6 yrs old well maintained guitar But it doesnot have truss rod. Can i use 0.12 guage for acoustic
Extra lights and custom lights are the best
metal or nylon strings?
Surprisingly the extra lights sound best to me. With medium or heavy strings you can tune down further though.
Martin 12 medium light phosphor bronze has been my go to on my martin 00 guitars for quite some time. If you have several acoustics and use for diff types of music its nice to keep a range. A Gibson dove would sound great with medium, whereas I would get better tone I am looking for on a SJ-200 with custom lights. Different woods give each guitar unique lighter or richer sound and playing around with string gauges to offset that can put you in a very nice goldilocks zone.
Extra Light for me, like the sound
Is this Bronze 80/20 or Phosphor Bronze 92/8 ?
It not just about affordable or premium models ot about there brightness and mellowness you can see on bavk side of the packet
Please mention the ideal guage of strings when reviewing individual guitar models

Well damn, those 13s sound dry and muffled af. No sustain or clarity. 10s sound waaaaaay better
With your style or song choice the playabilty of the 10 outways the 12' sustain of the 12's is not required,go with the ease of playing and less tension on the neck.
Thanks I needed new strings wanted to move down a gauge wanted to hear the sound of the 10 first
13 is easier and better to play on a dread. However, you'll need to setup lower. But, if you don't play regularly enough, your fingers' going to hurt. 12 is reasonable for irregular play.
I think the 13s is more punchy. But the 10, i like the 10s. Thanks for this video, dude. 10s will also help your acoustic's bridge to have less tension than the 13s so it's safer than 13s, i guess.
10s sound brighter such as u can hear more of the g b and high e, the 13s are more even and more bass. I use 11s 80 20 bronze polyweb. The coated strings get rid of that scratching from the pick and they get rid of that bright ring sound if you know what I mean. If u listed for it you'll hear it. Its overly ringy, I hate that.
The 10s (they also make 9s in 85/15 Bronze etc) make your Acoustic feel like an Electric & the sound is more percussive too. 10s might work in a Bluegrass setting cause you know how much faster you can really play.
10s sound the best to me, better clarity
Bruh, you will not damage a halfway decent guitar by going from 13s to 10s lol. They are literally made to be able to handle it. Have you ever adjusted a truss rod? Its pretty easy.
I’m basically a new guitar player. I want to practice more but the strings kinda start to make my hands hurt after awhile. I have heavier strings and I’ve been thinking about trying lighter strings. I have been afraid it would make my guitar sound tingly or shallow sounding. Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I listened with headphones on. I hear a slight difference but not enough to make me not want to try lighter strings! Thank you so very much for making this video! It really helped!
You went to a ton of work to put this together! Kudos! I didn't notice much difference other than the lower tones stood out more on the 13's. But then, I didn't have the volume on the video cranked, either. I'm playing some open tunings and getting buzzing with the 12's I have, so will try 13's. Based on your video, I think it will sound fine. Thanks! (Epiphone EJ-160E John Lennon edition)
To me the 13s warmer, thicker. The10s brighter , thinner. Both useful
Hey, after a year would you rather the .10 or the .13
Only when you really observe it than, yes gauge 13 is crispier and better than 10 gauge. Gauge 10 rings a little bit longer and it ruins the clarity of the tones. Thanks chief for your useful effort. Cheers from Indonesia.
10s all day.
I don't understand people who think there's no sound difference in string thickness. I'm a newer guitarist and even I can hear the drastic differences in sound.
If you want more volume and sustain, use heavier strings. If you want better tone with a little less volume and sustain, use lighter strings. I say this after using 13s on my dreadnoughts for over 15 years. I've owned Santa Cruz's, Larrivee's, Martins, Eastman, Taylors, and a few others. I currently own a Reimagined HD28 (love it) and I broke it in using mediums - and it needed it. It being a new guitar when I bought it, it lacked tone, volume, and sustain. After two years of playing it, it's opened so much, it sounds well over 5 years old. When strung with 13s, it - is - loud - and it has sustain for days. Too much of anything isn't good as this was distorting and overdriving the tone. I cringed at the idea of going down a gauge but I eventually told myself, why not try it and see what happens? Using 12s, its a better sounding guitar now than it was before. It still has plenty of sustain and the volume dropped just a hair, but the tone has improved tremendously. Now for dreadnoughts, I will never use anything less than 12s because a top that big, you need tension to vibrate it. And you're not gonna get that dreadnought sound using anything less. All builders usually recommend 13s but state 12s are acceptable. And imo - they 100% are. You have to find that balance between tone vs sustain and volume.  If you go heavier, you get more volume and sustain. If you go lighter, you'll get better tone at a cost of sustain and volume. If you go too light, its pointless because your guitar will sound too thin - and Im talking about dreadnoughts specifically.
Ok, I'm going to buy some 10's now. I don't need my acoustic to be loud, but I want it to sound a little brighter.
This is videos are excellent and they take a lot of time; so much appreciated. There are other factors to consider when comparing gauges of strings. I feel the lighter strings will get knocked out of tune more readily than the heavier gauge strings. You already mentioned the difference in volume, but drilling down just in that factor alone means that it requires more pressure to play a higher gauge string and that’s harder on your fingers, yeah at the same time because the string is latter you don’t have to hit it hard with your right hand! Since all tone really comes from human fingers, the use of various fingerpicks and plectrums is also going to have an effect. I’m a big fan of heavy gauge strings, but after 50 years plus of plain mediums and heavies the arthritis in my hand is so bad that I basically can’t play professionally anymore. I bring this up because youngsters think they’re invincible, at least I thought I was invincible. So try to factor in your long-term play ability as well. Musicians are both artists and craftspersons because we need to use our body as our tool just like any carpenter or wheel right with use. In the meantime, keep rocking
By far, Pete Townshend is my favourite guitarist of all time. shirt!
