I ordered a set from juststrings.com along with some Elixirs.

I'm intrigued by these strings, but not sure if I should try light or medium. I usually play GHS light 12-54.

OP here.

I can’t speak to the lights but the Mediums truly feel Iike others’ light gauge sets (unlike the medium Sunbeams thread you may have read). These are pretty flexible. I would think the wound strings of the light set would feel too much like extra light and that is why I went with the medium set for a short scale guitar.

Get the Mediums. My experience with the Lights was that they were too "light"

PS. While I like the "feel" of these strings, they are, on my guitars, brighter than I like (compared to D'addario EJ16's, both are Phosphor Bronze)
