Just wanted to add that there are hybrid guitar string sets out there, that combine features of different sets. Heavy lower strings for fullness of sound, and smaller higher strings for ease of bending as one example. You can even make your own custom sets by combining strings from different sets.

I'm a lead player, and when I know I'll be doing an acoustic blues jam, I sometimes replace my acoustic G-string with an electric unwound one. This makes it way easier to bend them bluesy notes. And you don't have sore fingers for a week lol.

Itchin' to play,
