Good choice! I'm a firm believer that one (usually) gets what they pay for. If you have a top-end instrument, what could be worse than to burden it with some mediocre, middle-of-the-road strings?

My choice would probably be the AC112 or maybe even the AC113, but I play with a heavy hand. Still, it's the first brand I consider when looking to re-string my "prize" guitars.

Do you find that you need a higher action with these low tension strings?

Unfortunately, it appears that they don't make 13s.

Thanks. I didn't see them on the TI site. Do you find you need higher action with low tension string?

I have not needed to adjust the action. 12s were the strings my guitar was designed to use.
