largo Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Having used Status Half-rounds for a few years, it would seem they no longer sell these on their website. Bugger! So a quick review online and thanks to mccnach (cheers Jose) I think I'm going to try the La Bella White Tapewounds. However, the 50's are marked as being light and the 60's are standard & reviews suggest the 50's are low tension. Anybody got any advice on which string size I should go for, I'm usually a 40 or 45 type of guy. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Picato half rounds are the same string if you still want to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm a 45-100/105 roundwounds type of guy and the Labella white nylons I got are the "750T" version (50-65-85-105). That's definitely lower tension than anything else I normally use. Noticeably. However I find that I love the feel. I need to adjust the truss rod a tiny bit, but that's all, and the lower tension just encourages a smoother softer type of playing, and string bending if you're so inclined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I had white 50s. Lovely strings. I'm a big fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
