try Half-gaugeS

-

It’s pretty obvious that the gauge (diameter) of your strings will affect how your guitar plays. The bigger the gauge the more energy you need in your fingers to bend, for example, meaning during long gigs your left hand will tire more easily and even an experience­d player can experience pain. Numerous brands now offer ‘in-between’ sets – 0.0085- 0.039”, 0.0095-0.044” and 0.0105-0.048” – that mean you can go up or down, in half-steps and notice less change.
