Tension of John Pearse strings?
Anyone know where I might be able to find the string tensions of John Pearse strings? I've looked at a number of the popular retail websites and have e-mailed JP directly, but so far, no luck...

Not sure where I found it originally but I have a string tension document I made and I have the 600L listed as 163lbs of tension.

Here's a copy and paste of their response to my email inquiry from 2015, of the specific gauges I asked about. Took a few days to get the reply.
Dominick, Thanks for the email. The tensions are: 600L = 163 pounds 610LM = 152 650LM = 173 And, yes, they are made here in the USA. Best regards, Todd Newman Breezy Ridge Instruments, Ltd. PO Box 295 Center Valley, PA 18034 610.691.3302 fax 610.691.3304 [email protected]

I'd been using Elixir HD Lights on my 814ce since I bought it. I tried 600Ls on it and BAM they are such a winner. The lower tension is SOOO much better, and I love the sound as they age on my Taylor. Not so brassy.
So, I couldn't leave well enough alone and I put some Elixirs back on the Taylor and it was instant dislike. They were clangy and brassy, they felt really tight, and I was reminded of how much I hate that slippery feel. No more Elixirs for me, John Pearse all the way!!!
