I wish every string manufacturer provided this kind of information! Very helpful.

Thanks!

To be honest, there isn't any new info in this version. It's just layout changes.

I do like those new icons! When they first showed up on the GHS website a couple of months ago, I thought it was kind of cool.

Note: keep your old guides. Progressives are not in the new one; we hope they are back in the next edition.

I haven't used GHS before. So nice of them to post this info.

Addictive stuff.

I appreciate this extremely important paragraph, that is so relevant to the huge amount of confusion on this forum about tension:

"The biggest thing to understand is that the "tension" of a string is not the same as the "feel" of the string under your fingers. String tension plays a part, but there are a number of other factors involved as well."
