The spiky one.
So you want six identical gauge strings, on a normal guitar tuned to E standard? Do you prefer rigid, unplayable strings that could snap, damage your guitar, and likely hurt to fret or do you want floppy as poo poo strings that feel like damp noodles? Cause you potentially get both.

Well yeah, that's why I never did it. It's unattainable.

Nothing, I just prefer the high three strings to be super thick because I started with Classical Guitar and the nylon only strings are a lot thicker than the e/B/G strings on electric. I just don't like the feel of them. That's it. lol

What's confusing me isn't that you want thick treble strings, but that you want thin bass strings.

Can you get wound e and B strings though? At least mine aren't, and they're 12s or 13s or some poo poo. And they still hurt to play due to the high tension.

Related: are barre chords even a thing with the ridiculous strings mentioned, because my hands are way too weak for that. Maybe it's just because my bass strength doesn't apply to barre chords though.

Uhhhh that's a good question. Probably not? Looking at D'addario's catalogue, the thinnest wound string they offer is a .17 chungus that you could sort of use as the B I guess.

Oh man this is cool, but... I completely broke the site when I couldn't select the construction of the strings and tried hitting continue.

I really should have come up with something better before spending five bucks on this.
Since this place is often the intersection of "stupid music poo poo" and "awesome music poo poo", this came up in my recommended vids today.

I think they’re having a bit of fun with an led but if that was one of the 6L6s it would indicate that the tube is getting runaway current/overbiased and is extremely not happy.

Weeeelp.

I remember looking up "Rubberband Man" by The Spinners and seeing a comment of his about how he was "listening to this song when it first came out, which was an INFINITY ago to you Millenials." And instantly thinking that he was kinda douchey but god drat.
