whats the difference in the sound of medium acoustic guitar strings and light acoustic strings?
The richness of the sound and the timbre really. The heavier the gage the richer the tone you'll get. The lighter the gage the brighter the tone you'll get. So med gage is a trade off between the two. Getting some of the brightness of lighter gage strings with the richness of the med gage.
I don't believe there is any difference in volume between gages. If anything lighter gage strings should have more volume as they'll vibrate more easily. To me the difference is undetectable. In terms of sustain again the difference to me is undetectable.
