So, I did some interwebs crawling trying to find out some history on string gauges. I cannot remember anything other than mediums and heavys being available way back when I started learning acoustic guitar. Possibly lights were available and I had just not paid them any attention yet.
So I tried to find out when the different gauges came to be. best I could find is that pre ww1 there were two gauges mentioned: heavy (or "wide") and medium (or standard, normal, default or whatever). Beyond that, I could not find any info on string gauges in particular. I did find out more than I ever wanted to about all kinds of other guitar string stuff though. LOL!
So, if anyone else can find anything on when lights, custom lights, and extra lights came into existence, inquiry minds would love to know!
