RE: STRING TENSIONS (in reply to 12850bd)

I find that different materials also change the perception and the feel of a string. For roughly the same given tension, the diameter and the "elastic properties" of each material will give a different result. Clear nylon, black nylon, titanium, carbon, etc... I think experimenting with that would be useful to you. For example, if you had titanium trebles the same thickness of an extra heavy clear set, you probably would perceive them as softer/sluggish. If you had carbons at that same thickness, you would feel that you were playing rocks and that your guitar could implode at any second. As a result, for the same Kg value you would have a much thinner carbon string. Just a thought.
