What is the main difference between custom light and light gauge strings please?

The only difference is in the gauge. Custom light gauge is .11-.52. Light gauge is .12-.53. The custom light gauge is easier on the fingers, but not quite as loud as the light gauge. You won't notice too much of a difference in loudness unless you fingerpick a lot. Hope this helps!!

Custom lights are in between light and extra light..... For me, they're just right... Extra lights sacrifice too much tone, but I need something pretty light for finger-picking....

About a 10 or 12 gauge. Great for hanging light items, but blankets.........

The very first thing I do when purchasing a new guitar,be it an inexpensive guitar such as the Epiphone(I just bought two of them as presents) or my custom made Klema Blackline I change the strings immediately. I use Elixir "Polyweb" custom lights .11-.052 and it makes all the difference in the sound not to mention the strings that come on these are probably very cheap strings to begin with.

I like the medium because still bendable without the break factor. Some probably prefer the lighter gauges but those are too light for me. I tend to be rough on the strings.

Hi Natalie! The strings were bronze wound round, factory strings in a medium gauge. They are okay and sound reasonable, but I would suggest that you put the acoustic strings on the guitar which you like best in a light gauge. I use D'Addario brand strings on my electric and acoustic guitars and I am happy with sound and quality.

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.

16 gauge, I have had these lights for two years and have had no problems with wiring!

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.

Sorry, not able to answer. We purchased several for disco balls and precise definition of the light was not important. Worked perfectly for our application.

I would learn on lights .010-.046. That will build your hand strength. Then you can decide if you want the tone mediums or the speed of extra lights

The light string is not designed to be shortened. The only way is to cut and terminate the wire. The sockets are fixed and cannot be moved either. This is a great light set, however. Well made. I installed under my patio cover and use a dimmer switch.

I really like the EXP 17's which are the same string as the 16 but in a medium gauge. The heavier gauge takes a little getting used to, and they are not recommended for all guitars (check with the manufacturer), but the increase in volume and authority of my sound I feel is well worth it. Btw- I just tried a set EXP19's and they are basically medium gauge tops with lights on the bottom. Not a bad idea really. A little easier on the fingers. By all means stick with the phosphor bronze for a mellow tone.

Light Gauge -- .012, .016, .025, .032, .042, and .054 inches, respectively.

don't really remember but around 6' to 10' light gauge but worked great for application. Wired are separate from speakers and attach by clips on back of speaker color coded.

Wire gauge is average and it's connected the same as any other low voltage light. It has two wires and will need to be connected in series with other fixtures on same segment.

I don't know the gauge of the strings, but they are standard bass strings. The lowest (thickest) string is a B below the standard 4-string bass's E. BEADG

Not sure but it really doesn't make any difference,just use the same size wire as the rest of the gauges.
