Are there any "Medium/light" guage strings....

[onewilyfool]

Are there any 12.5 to say.....54.5 sets of strings out there??? Say somwhere between light and medium????

I recently put some Martin Marquis "lights" on a guitar and they seemed heavier than normal lights. I don't remember the guages but the high string was .12. I don't like them because they're too heavy for me but may be what you want.

Try John Pearse New Medium. A lot of the makers have similar sets.

Hey Gearbasher.....thanks, thats the ticket!!!

I always thought 12s were considered medium lights. Shows what I know.

I have a set of Martin Acoustic SP's on my desk right now that are Light/Medium and are .0125-.055. I'm going to try them out later.

D'Addario EJ-19 Bluegrass--medium up top, lights on the bottom

I have been using Martin SP pb Light Mediums, 12 - 55s, I really like them, sometimes hard to find in the shops.

Curt Mangan strings offer phosph & 80/20 brz in sets of custom mix of your liking. I've been useing ther 80/20/brz ,12,17,24,w32,44,56 on both my J45's and luvum, you get the strong brilliance in the trebles from a med set and the bit more supple feel of lights in the middle, which makes it very comfortable playing bar and full chords further up the neck where the tension and higher clearance can some times be a challenge for extended playing.

I think the Martin Acoustics SPs are the ones with the bronze coloured plain strings. If so, they're really great strings and good value over on this side of the pond. I'm a 12 guage man myself on the 6er and 10s on the 12er.

hey thanks. I am going to try out those bluegrass string the medium to light ones. That's the trouble I have with mediums because the upper strings kill my fingers playing lead. Maybe those will work better. I have been trying different strings for over a year now and I still haven't found the right ones.

Elixer Nanowebs also have a set that they actually call Medium-Lights.

GibbyJoe, you might try Newtones. Since I discovered them early this year I’ve used nothing else on my J45. Great sound, sort of “old timey”, they last about a month and are slightly less tension than other strings. I use Newtone Master Class light (12 -54) and find that there is plenty kick to the bass and the trebles ring out much more than my previous string of choice Martin SPs. Haven’t tried the mediums, but since the tension is a bit less, might be what you’re looking for.

I never tire of string questions.... doesn't Marlboro sell Medium Lights?
