They come in different sizes. Usually measured by the high E string.
Thin strings are 0.008" whereas thicker ones are 0.012"
Thinner strings are easier to play but don't yield much tone.
On detuned guitars like Sylvans, thicker strings are a must to avoid
fret buzz and such.

However Earl Brown and I prefer G strings...

I use boomers .12 I think.. more of a blues sound.

.012-.056 Although lately I've been using Power slinky's .011-.048 but I put a bass string .055 on the low side.

My Strats sound like pianos with fresh strings through tube amps.

11 to 52 or go home, motherfuckers!

...I *think* the strings on the 7 are 11 to 58...? They're Slinkys, BTW, which I don't care for but I've yet to look around to see if I can get the Blue Steels in a set of 7.

D'Addarios on my 7 ....and everything else but my acoustic and basses.

Well you all made me dig both of them out last night. Gave one to the youngest and showed her some finger exercises to work on for now. Guess I'll have to look up some online stuff for her too.

0.008"s are extra lights. In Sylvan's words, "You're one step away from being totally limp wristed".

Amen to that.

The primary reason I went to 11's (but there were a lot of reasons) was due to how weak and twangy they sound in a clean setting.
