What is tension?#
How tightly the strings are pulled, measured in pounds (lbs). Lower tension = more power and a larger sweet spot; higher tension = more control.
String gauge#
The thickness of the string. Thinner gauges give more repulsion; thicker gauges last longer.
How often should you restring?#
A common rule of thumb: restring as many times per year as you play per week.
Signs you need a restring#
