Default String Tension Chart

I stumbled across this cool brand comparison chart on another forum. Thought it might be helpful for those of you trying different brands and different tensions:

Interesting but I think that Savarez normal trebles are equal to their high tension basses.

Daddario extra hard tension is a surprise but I haven't play them for over 2 decades.

Excellent point, Paikon. I've read before that the treble tension does not change when it comes to medium and high tension Savarez. Adding to the confusion!

Looks like those Hannebachs might pull the top right off some guitars!
