A hybrid set for refined, nuanced, and quiet playing
The Thomastik John Pearse Folk Series Light MI1 16 strings are aimed at guitarists seeking a very soft "nylon" feel, particularly suited for fingerpicking and nuanced playing. The low tension helps reduce left-hand fatigue while offering controlled attack for arpeggios, complex voicings, and light rhythms.
Construction designed for balance and clarity
This gauge combines two types of winding to optimize performance across the entire spectrum. The E, B, and G strings use a flat winding on steel core, appreciated for its smoother feel and reduced fret noise, a real advantage in the studio as well as amplified playing. The D, A, and low E strings feature a round winding in silver-plated bronze on a nylon core, delivering full, musical, and well-articulated basses. All strings have ball ends, ideal for quick and reliable replacement.
