This could be a bit of a DUH question and I understand that there are lots of things that go on here but in very general terms, all things being equal, would you folks image there to be less stress with lighter strings? I was thinking of trying EFW74s since I am playing a lot of chord melody stuff anyway, so a good experiment, at least. I've been playing Medium monels (Curt Mangan) and I love them but the G string is a 41. On the EFW74s, the G is a 36 and the D and A strings are lighter, too. I have to imagine this would result is less wrist stress and would welcome any feedback. Trying to strike a balance between challenging new shapes and "do no harm."
