If they were so "careful" with the exact optimal diameters, how come the holy diameters for the trebles would be exactly the same for the MT and HT sets? The designation of tension is the resultant of the pressure of all six strings on the bridge thus a mix of diameters is used chosen according to the quality of sound generated by individual strings. From my comparative chart notice that the greatest variation from set to set is in the 6th and 5th strings. This would suggest, and comparison with other makes support this , the diameter of strings 4th thru 1st is only usable through a narrow range of diameters the exception carbon strings of course. If for what ever reason it rankles you to hear that string manufacturers give any thought in the selection of string gauge, then by all means stick to your belief in a eeny, meeny, miny, moe formula.
