Yeah, I was planning on switching to 8s but when I saw there were 7s I thought it was worth trying out. I’ve been pretty happy. If you stretch your strings out when you put them on, just be a bit gentle with that first string, I broke a students string for them because I was seeing how much it could stretch. Luckily I had an extra on hand.
I always thought that lighter gauge would be easier, so I'd look for the lightest and best bargain. Ended up with .009. I'll give the 7s a try when my supply runs out. or I buy a new guitar, whichever comes first. Thanks for the link. I added the strings to my wish list.
7’s and 8’s are great strings! I’ve never gone back since changing mine. Playing is a lot easier and less stressful on the fingers. Hope you enjoy them when the time comes!
Thanks I been researching electric guitar strings. I’m 65 years old just started about 1 1/2 years ago the problem I keep hitting the bottom strings any suggestions thanks
I use nickel wound strings gauge 9 for my electric Guitar 25' inch , I don't know I'm bit of confused with steel, pure nickel, nickel wound strings in electric Guitar, can you write pros and cons these strings

Thanks! I switched to 9-42 .I will try some 8s. I didn’t know about less than 9. Glad to hear string breakage is not a big problem.

Yeah, lighter is MUCH easier. That’s also why all my acoustics have 10s on them too

So glad lighter strings exist! Never going back to the thick boys 😄
TRUTH!
Would a set of 7s be great for my first ever guitar
Absolutely. They'll be super easy to play and will require less strength to press down.
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom thanks
Get your facts straight. Its NOT .08" but rather .008"
