So...

G= .085"
D= .104"
A= .100" (wound I assume)
E= .124" (also wound)

In Gamut Gut strings that would be a Medium + G, a light D, and Medium A and E, more or less. Not a bad combo. Do you think the super light D helps with the choking thing that plain D strings can get? I totally agree with the heavier G string thing, I tried using the lighter ones and they just sort of lay there.

I will say from a fledgling arco guy that Guts are even harder for me to pull a good sound from than Spirocores. There are also times when I'm playing pizz I prefer a longer note. There are also times when I wouldn't mind having a clear note on the E and A strings above A and D respectively.

Opinion?
