D' Addario EJ43 (Light Tension)

In last few weeks i decided to try light tension strings as Luthier 20 and Aranjuez 200. But the action becomed to be much higher when i was using normal tension. But in lighter tension strings i feel more comfortable to play things. Is anybody have tried D' Addario's EJ43?

Are these ones are thicker than Luthier 20 and Aranjuez 200 to gain some low action?

Yes these are now my favourites I been using them for a while , before that I had the EJ 45s , medium tension and before that Galli titanium.

I find the sound is good , they are long lasting , the D string does not break , and they are a good price , what more do you want ..
And theres a new set out with better trebled like this ...

gounaro-

I have seen these Pro-Arte on stringsbymail.

Try the LaBella 2001 Flamenco light tension trebles with
the Pro-Arte light basses. I like this combination.

Have you tried to file/sandpaper the bottom of the guitar
bridge down to lower the action? Is it too tall?

The EJ43's are fun for about two days, then likely you'll cut them off throw them
in the can never to be seen again. It's a novelty that lasts a very short time I think.

Regards,
Jeff

I tried them already. I use EJ-45's mostly, but also Savarez Corum Bass's. I use the EJ-45 trebles on all
my guitar's but I tend to like the Corum Bass on a couple guitars. I've tried a bunch of different strings
over the years but these are the ones I stick with now.

The EJ-43's were fun initially as they feel so light, but pretty quickly I found I didn't like them anymore
so I switched back.
