## Questions & Answers

**Q: is therea ball at end of the string**
A: Yes they are made for steel string acoustic guitars

**Q: What light and medium and custom light means???**
A: Light and medium are the width of the strings. Medium strings resonate more but are harder to hold down. Light strings are easier to play but can buzz a little if played too hard. The custom strings try and give you the best of both worlds...lighter bass strings that are easier to play and thicker treble strings which resonate a little better. I like the customs myself.

**Q: is the 3rd string wound?**
A: Yes! A wound 24 third string

**Q: Do you recommend these d'addario nickel bronze strings for strumming ?  (vs d'addario phosphor bronze)**
A: I am a strummer and I love these string. I have them on both my Taylor and my Martin. They have a rich tone whether picked, plucked, or strummed.  I was one of the beta testers of these strings, sense then they are the only strings that I have used.
