    Hi @JohnV I went to my local music store today in hopes of getting a set of Santa Cruz Low Tension Parabolic strings🤩, but they don’t carry them😱 They owed me a free string change, so I ended up settling for the Martin Lifespan 2.0 92/8 Phosphor Bronze Custom Light 11-52😐. Almost the same strings I had originally, except they were 13-54 gage. So I can bend these new strings much more easily, but I’m not totally thrilled with the sound they make when playing single notes on each of the strings. I find that for now, the lo E sounds kind of “tinny”, while the others sound a little softer than the heavier gage that I’m used to🤔. I’ll keep these on for a while, but I’m going to order the Santa Cruz strings and give them a try next time I’m ready to change these out👍
