Those not familiar with string instruments and guitars can't imagine how varied the world of strings is, and that before arriving at your ideal choice, you need to gain some experience by experimenting with various brands, types, and gauges.

But what does this mean? For example, when we talk about gauge, we are referring to the thickness of the strings. Thicker strings are also harder and create more tension on the instrument, while thinner strings are softer. All this will also determine a specific way of playing (and it is also true that the way of playing determines the choice of strings), a different sound, and a particular style. Also, remember that some guitars favor certain types of strings in relation to their design.

Then comes the choice of materials because not all strings are made of the same material: there are steel strings, brighter but also harder, then there are nickel strings, softer, steel strings coated with nickel, and those of other materials for those allergic to nickel; and then there are the strings dedicated to classical guitars with the typical nylon strings.
