sheehan's strings

[wicked_child]

the guages: 43-65-80-110.

the the first 3 strings looks ok but, the E string(110) with its high guage, looks so tight. i have a set of fender strings, guages 55-70-90-105 and its already tight. what do you think of this set? i really like the sound of sheehan so i might give it a try. will the tightness be balanced?

[katana_manatee]

Nope, the E string will feel more taught and the G string less taught.

What do you mean "balanced"?

It's preference, really. It's also a matter of getting used to it. My G-string is currently .030.

Youll get used to it. Im on a 110-50 set right now.

Balance is over rated.

Like they all said, it's feel. I like tight Es and loose G strings (bad pun), but I've gone through a bunch of different set sizes and claimed I loved them all. You'll get used to it.

even tightness. i hate the feeling of having the other strings tight and others lose.

i think those will will be good. I dont' know if they'll have an even tightness or not, but if you play with a sheehan style it should work just fine.
