Low tension strings

[GHWelles]

I have a 24" scale guitar and always play 1/2 step down and oce you round off the knife edge with a file, it will stop wearing down but still stays in tune.

Right, downtune.

Poppa, are we talking about plain strings only? Can there be a tension difference between wound strings of the same gauge but different brands? My impression was that Fender wound strings are higher tension than my beloved Balls.
