I have on loan a 5-string Schwab electric mandolin (telecaster body, FWIW) which has flatwound strings presently. I am not a fan of flatwounds and hope to be replacing them soon with nickel electric strings. I have no experience with this string length (14.5") or with the low C string and I am wondering about gauges. I don't want something too stiff--probably the equivalent of a .010 through ,046 set on electric guitar. I would like consistent sound and tension throughout, if possible. Can anyone here help me out with this, please? Thanks!
