Is there a difference in spound between the .11 ans .12? i usually use two packs of .11's would there be a lot of difference in pressure with .12's?

I gave up on these... I spent too much money popping strings then went to a cheap alternative after much study and thus I've been playing nonstop without any breaks and they sound Grrrreat as Tony the Tiger would say. I switched to the Ernie Ball Earthwood Medium Lights and they are ROCK SOLID. Money well spent, much cheaper, and they sound great in the DAW. I can't say Elixir is better, because these sound great and they are lasting way longer... I play 5 hours a day 7 days a week, and they are holding up like Alabama Roll Tide! :) God Bless.

I was putting new strings on my martin 00028ec and the g string broke before i even got it tight enough to tune. is this common?

My first set one did the same thing. Don’t cut the strings until a day later these are very delicate after second tuning. They play so soft and have great sound. Very little string buzz or finger wear.

Can I put these on an electric guitar?

These are acoustic guitar strings, so I don't recommend it. I've never tried to put acoustic strings on an electric. You should buy electric guitar strings.

Does this special three pack come with three packs of normals string or octaves?

I’m pretty sure it’s just 3 sets of normal strings
