Tell you what, Tom - I use fingers to pick and medium gauge chews up my nails pretty successfully. When I dropped down to light (.012 - .054 and about 170 lbs of tension), my D-28 changed tone. More treble and less lead in the mids and bottom - this was O.K. by me. I find that both the medium and light gauge string sets please me, though the sound is quite different.

You've got to go through the bother of putting on both gauges and deciding for yourself. Also, there is the matter of strings - they all sound different and only your guitar and your ears matter in this extremely subjective topic.

Enjoy!
