I've decided to take it up a notch and go for the premium strings. #I've gotten recommendations for the John Pearse's. #I'm wondering what set might sound better on my Phoenix Bluegrass:
Mediums: 11, 14, 25, 39
Heavies: 12, 15, 26, 40
My mando is designed for both "medium-heavy to heavy" strings (from the Phoenix site). #Are the JP mediums too light?
I'm thinking the heavies, which have all the same gauges as the J74s except the E, might provide a better tone.
I always appreciate any help.
Edit: I now see that J74s are considered medium-light strings. The J75s (mediums) have a G string with a 41 gauge. Should I consider even heavier strings than the John Pearse heavies? I can't even find heavy mando strings on Eldery...
