Comments
They don't say light gauge. They say regular/medium gauge.
They do also say lighter tension. Which is not a lie.
You bought the wrong strings man. Don't pin that on the company.
Unhappy with these. I was looking for a "light" set due to arthritis in my fingers. The description says they are easier to press due to lower tension, but that's only on the wound strings. The A and E strings are still bare steel and this set uses regular rather than light strings. And those are the ones I have the most trouble with. I thought I could select my own light set from individual strings, but these are the only size they make. Maybe I could just buy light A and E strings, but then I don't know if the tensions would be balanced. I'll probably try it, but I wish GHS made a proper light set of these strings.
PS, to David. Pay attention. I didn't say they lied. But I am disappointed in them and I'm not going to lie about that, either. GHS is a great company and I've been using their products for a long time, but this is the only means of feedback that I am aware of and I'm going to use it. Now go ruin someone else's evening.
