The 45-105 on the top back isn't making sense to me. I know they are most likely 105, 90, 70, 55. I'm going to measure/mic them before I put them on. The more balanced Dia is what I'm looking forward to trying..

Thank You.
Just pulled them out and measured each. My dad gave me some tools, this one is either a vernier caliper
Ha. Got started on the strings and cleaning it up a bit and timed out. Yeah they measured 105-90-70-55.
Those calipers have come in handy. It's not that easy to see or feel the difference from 45 to 55. I'm sure someone who does it frequently wouldn't have a problem...

Visual or touchwise you're not wrong but, once installed and tuned standard (G2), the difference in tension between a .045 and a .055 is going to be noticeable: the latter can have as much as 50% more tension than the former.
