No. I got the SB111 set and if you just look at the gauges of the wound strings they're all higher than the gauges in the AC111 set and I remember feeling that (and hearing it from the guitar sound). The situation is a bit more complex with the AC112 vs. the SB112 as the former has a huge low E so we'd have to compare the actual tensions. |
These sets have a handy set of tables listing all specs of all weight variants. Turns out the Plectrum SB111 has considerably higher tensions than the Spectrum AC111 for the G, D, A strings; these are almost in the same league as their counterpart in the Spectrum 12s. But if you compare the 12s of both types, the Spectrums have a higher tension in fact. Even the Spectrum AC024 (G string) has a higher tension than the SB024 G string. Makes me wonder if the Spectrums could have a higher gauge core wire...
