DR string gauges - names changing?

[cmd612]

It seems DR may be changing their terminology for string gauges (light, medium, etc.) to be more in line with other manufacturers. I just got a set of DR Rares from amazon. I had ordered 12s, which I believe DR until recently called "medium." When I got the package the strings were labeled as "light." They are 12-54s.

Then I went to the DR website. This chart

http://www.drstrings.com/#!rare/c21n3

still shows 12-54 as "medium," but the box pictured just above the chart looks like the one I just got. It shows the gauges: 12-54, but has the word "light."

So . . . you might want to double-check the gauges if you're buying DR strings.

I hope they are! It always confuses me!

Agreed. I like DR Dragon Skins Mediums, which are actual lights (12-54). I now triple check my order every time before buying....fool me once
