??? Nice if you're trying to play classical guitar on an electrical
guitar, but there was this dude by the name of Jimi Hendrix, see, who, like,
made a *career* out of distorted guitar, like, y'know? Point being that
"sound" is a very subjective thing, and "fidelity" may not be something
desired, depending upon the "sound" you're trying to get.

Hell, how much guitar have you played? As a guitar player, I like the 
volume and sound I get out of heavier strings, but if I'm going to be playing
some blues or anything that needs a lot of note bending, damn straight I'm
ditching the mediums and going straight to lights or ultralights.

Uhm, note that an "off note" is the desired result in much modern
music.  Makin' that ole' axe cry and sing, as vs. being just Guitar
George who knows all the chords, is the difference between someone who
is a true virtuoso and someone who just plays.
