"What's the difference in strings?"

Today, there are not only different brands of strings available -- but there are also different gauges / thickness too!

The gauge / thickness that you use, determines the sound of your guitar playing!

Just remember...

The higher the gauge number -- the thicker the string
The lower the gauge number -- the thinner the string

Thicker strings last longer and have a chunkier sound.    Thinner strings don't last as long and have a much brighter sound.

As a side note:    If you find your strings vibrating a lot or aren't ringing out properly - this is usually because they are slightly touching the frets on your guitar.

If you have this problem -- go for a thinner gauge string and they will offer your fingers more room to move on the fret board!

If you want -- check out: http://www.stringsandbeyond.com as they specialize in selling guitar strings and as well as offer free shipping on some orders!

Here's a rough guide to string gauge and thickness...
