Great Strings
I use the Light gauge set strings with the phosphor bronze wound 4th string. On here they're listed as Custom-Light and incorrectly categorized under Nickel even though the 4th string is bronze. I personally do not enjoy nickel wound 4th strings, I find that they do not have that warm tone I love so much.These strings are great, I go through a set about once a month or so and that's playing every day for at least 20-30 minutes. They stay in tune well. I find that this gauge is slightly smaller than the Ernie Ball frailing strings that I've tried which give it just that little extra when it comes to brightness of tone AND clarity that I'm looking for without sounding muted or dead. I play clawhammer style if that matters.In the year and change I've been playing I've only had two strings snap on me and that was while I was restringing the instrument and I was very new to the instrument as a whole which I attribute the snapping more to my lack of experience at the time then to quality of product. It is important when stringing your instrument to press down on your strings occasionally in between tightening them while tuning to help them stretch in a more gentle fashion when getting up to tune instead of just cranking on the tuner until you reach pitch. Tuning them without that small step makes them more likely to break. Think of it as towing a car, you never just leave the rope loose in between vehicles and suddenly accelerate - that will cause the rope to break almost immediately when it comes under tension. You instead take the slack out and gradually increase tension until you're under load and you're off and rolling.TL:DR Best strings I've found so far though I'm always trying new ones just to see what's out there. Have fun!
