Recommended string gauge for L-200 emmylou harris 2010 model

[Gas]

Hello,

 

I am planning to restring my L-200 gibson with 0.13 phosphor bronze nanoweb Elixirs.

 

Is this going to affect the action too much?

 

I am currently using 0.12 Polyweb Elixirs and the sound really good.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Are the 0.13 strings too heavy for the fingers?

Why do you want 13s? Not happy with 12s, or just experimenting?

 

If the guitar is setup right for 12s now it will require some adjustment to wear 13s properly. Whether or not 13s are "too heavy for the fingers" is up to you.

You must have fingers of steel!

I never tried phosphor bronze strings and/or medium gauge (0.13) so far and i was wondering if any of you have tried such strings.

 

I believe that they will sound great for my recording sessions.

In the end you may find it is the right way to go but you're introducing 3 new variables at once. 1, going from polyweb to nanoweb. 2, going from 80/20 to phosphor bronze. 3, going from 12's to 13's. Why don't you change only one or two things rather than all three. You may like one or more aspects of the change but not all and you won't necessarily know which you like or not if you do all at once.
