I have a Taylor Mini GS that came with medium gauge strings. What would be the difference with the light guage strings?

You can always ask Taylor, but herei is my guess. I have a Taylor Dreadnaught,, a "full body" (read that as large guitar). The size of the Dreadnaught body doesn't need much tonal enhancement/augmentation. A smsller body,as in a mini, would probably benefit using medeium gauge strings over a light weight or (worse) nylon string set.

Light strings are a little easier to cord and play, however the sound may not be as loud.

If you guitar has a neck adjustment rod (i.e., was built after 1985) then the medium lights would be a great option. If your guitar is one of the older models that does not have a neck adjustment rod, I would advise that you stick to light gauge strings only.

They look like Fender Nickel Wound L 0.009 to 0.042 strings but it's not stated anywhere in my documentation. Definitely just a tad lighter than regular Slinky 0.010 to 0.046 strings.

Tenor strings are longer. Just order the strings that match your size ukulele.

They are the same...does not matter,,,however as the are used and get wear and tear, I keep them in the same string each time when restringing... it help esp. If you use different string gauges between changes...so string up and play!

We aren't exactly sure what gauge, but, the bottom string broke within a month of owning it. It is well worth the money and my son loves it! It is a very lightweight guitar and he says it is easy to play. You may want to upgrade the strings-but we have zero complaints about this guitar or the set!

I do not play, I got this as a gift for my nephew and I did buy him new strings, but I am not certain what kind they were, I will contact him and find out. It sounds great.

tuning up on standard guitar strings is dangerous, I recommend you get custom gauge strings, that sounds complicated but it's simple enough for you to figure out. hopefully you know you need a smaller string for a higher note at the same tension.

Not sure exactly what you mean by "regular strings" . . . Martin recommends Extra Light strings only, that is obviously because of the construction of the guitar.

Maybe a small amount. It's mostly due to the design and materials used in the strings. I've found that D'Addario strings tend to be bright.Phosphor bronze strings offer a rounder, warmer tone. 80/20 bronze offers a brighter, cleaner tone. The coated strings tend to be darker than plain strings of the same gauge and manufacturer.

They are. I bought them for a Taylor GS Mini, and they're a tiny bit large for the bridge holes, but they work, and with wood going into wood it's probably not going to be perfect.

hi.actually it is just baby guitar,not GS mini. GS mini can be more expensive . it is the smallest size guitar,.good for kids or travllers.I like it for its small size and big enough sound.

They are great strings for any acoustic guitar. I would go with the EXP10 extra light for a beginner. They will be a little easier on the fingers.

The guitar comes strung with very light strings. If you prefer heavier strings, as I do, I would recommend taking it to a good shop and having them set it up for the increased tension.

In my experience a smaller guage is smaller than the higher number guage, however my experiende is in the medical field.. There stapes are shorter then the ones I am used to buying, I think thy are 6 inches long. They do the job and will probably last longer than the landscaping fabric.

The picture is the EXP 17, which is a medium gauge. 13-56. The item description is the EXP16 as noted by the sizes listed, 12 to 54 (light). Have the seller verify the item. It could also be that strings were changed from 17's to 16's, and the old strings (16) were placed in the 17's packaging. Either way, verity before you buy.

The difference in tension betwen normal and hard is about 1 pound difference per string. It's like the difference between .010 and .011 on steel string, though the tension will be less I believe than either of those.
