Tim most likely uses lights b/c of the bends and such he does. And just for the sound of them. Heavier strings sound different. Let's not forget that Tim replaces the low .053 with a .056 to accomodate his drop D C and B tunings.

A .56 is medium, BTW...I use meeds cause I love the sound, but many acoustic players (Leo Kottke's 6 string is strung with lights) use lights because they are easier to manage, like bending. Especially if the guitar is tuned up to standard. I use mediums tuned to C#, partly because i love low tuned guitar, and partly becasue i like using mediums, but I don't want to destroy my guitar with the added tension. |

Hey XoOsh...ran into you outside of Davidson for a few hours after the show (pretty sure that was you). Just thought I'd say hello.

Perhaps it's to save his fingers? He typically plays insane music for long amounts of time... i use mediums and my fingers are raw after a while of jamming with my friends... maybee i dont really know.. but he also has small hands etc..
