## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which sets have  a plain G string?**
A: On the acoustic set I have the third string is wound. On sets for electric guitar the third string is plain.

**Q: Can I use the phosphor bronze hd lights on a electric guitar?**
A: No the HD lights are designed for acoustic guitars

**Q: Is there 3 sets of strings in this pack.. 9 altogether**
A: Oooops….Sorry!! There are 3 x packs of 12-53guage 6 string sets.  Seems like a good buy as these are for acoustic guitars which need replacing fairly regularly.

**Q: Would these strings suit a dreadnaught guitar? I'm looking for a warm, rich tone.**
A: Absolutely, depending on the model of guitar, the 12`s are excellent, if you have a Martin D28 the 13's give a deeper and louder sound. They may be expensive but they are excellent, beware of buying in eBay there are some fakers out there.
