I probably should have known this a long time ago, but humor me.
I have a jumbo acoustic, I'm trying to brighten it up a bit. Lighter or heavier? I'm going to try a set of 10-47 tonight.
I believe it is, the lighter, the brighter?
At least it rhymes.
come on guys....
What's the brightest string on your guitar....that's right, the thin E string. So the lighter your gauge, the brighter the strings! yay!
The thicker the bricker?
Anyway... If you're going that low, you should try a set of strings with a heavier bottom at least for some decent punch. You can also try a set of 11s that are similar to 10s but with a low E .050 and a high E .011 to stave off the quot;pingquot; tone of most 10s-- DR strings makes such a set.
I'm not sure you're going to get a brighter tone with lighter strings. The guitar is kind of the way it is, ya know? You'll get more top end frequencies with a heavier guage of top end strings (12s on up), but that may disturb the balance.
I find that heavier strings have more brightness and more bass at the same time.
for acoustic stings, it's not only the gauge, but the composition of the strings
phosphor bronze are considered warmer, richer; 80/20 bronze are brighter
I've used D'Addario 85/15 American Bronze for years. They are a bright string, and probably wear a little quicker, but I love the way they sound when they're new. They're a fairly inexpensive string, but that's not really why I've continued to use them.
