Question: Is there a set already offered in the Taper Core Round Wound series in the "medium light" area (would the AA-TCRML-5 be what I'm looking for?), and would a set of these change the wonderful tone I'm already getting in a drastic way?

If so, I'll just "tough it out" with the Medium Wounds I'm using (the tone is killer, and I don't want to disturb it). However, those "medium lights" were a little better to my fingers!
Ronson,

Sounds like you are looking for TCRML 5's .044 .063 .080T .102T .125T. Ken has them!

My unsolicited advice: I'd stick to the Medium Taper Cores if I were you.

Also, IF you do decide to go to the lighter set, be sure and re-tune and re-adjust your neck for the lighter guage strings. As far as the lighter set changing the "wonderful tone"??? It all depends on the set-up and what you want to hear and feel with the lighter strings.
