@Marty69 , I use extra lights on all my guitars, 10 – 47 usually, but the silk and steels or silk and phosphors come in 11 – 47. I mostly use Martin strings, though my 12 string is GHS because Martin doesn’t make a silk and whatever set for 12 string. Those are the “warmest”, the silk and whatever, and I focus on finger picking. Now, people want to use a pick to get stronger sound, so naturally, they use heavier strings. My silk and phosphur are still too loud to me when I use a pick. I just don’t like it.
And of course, part of the reason, or I should say the original reason as I could probably play heavier strings now, is for my finger comfort. I’m old as you well know. 😂MG 😀
