Really light gauge strings. Like rubber bands, I am told.
I do believe they were John Pearse medium gauge phosphor bronze strings on the acoustic. Which was a Yamaha red label something or other. hope this helps.

Yes, they do. The gauge of a guitar string determines its thickness and therefore its pitch.
Jaco used Rotosound round-gauge strings gauged 46-63-80-102, but it would be easier to get them in 45-105 gauge.
Hendrix's strings of choice were light-gauge Fender Rock 'N' Roll sets (gauged .010, .013, .015, .026, .032, .038)
For optimal performance and sound quality, you should consider using light gauge guitar strings. Light gauge strings are easier to play and produce a brighter tone compared to heavier gauge strings.

To accurately gauge the thickness of guitar strings, you can use a tool called a string gauge or caliper. This tool measures the diameter of the string in inches or millimeters. You can also refer to the packaging or manufacturer's specifications for the exact thickness of the strings.
He uses Ernie Ball custom gauge strings, .10 to .52 or .54

There is no "correct" gauge for guitar strings. Use whichever gauge is comfortable for you. Higher gauge strings will ring louder and longer, but sustain and volume aren't as much of an issue with electric guitars as they are for acoustic guitars. If you're really unhappy with the sound of your current strings, try another brand or move to a higher gauge once you build up some finger strength.

For tuning your guitar to Drop C, it is recommended to use heavier gauge strings, such as 11-56 or 12-60, to maintain proper tension and avoid string buzzing.

Yes, heavy gauge strings can potentially cause damage to a guitar, as they exert more tension on the instrument's neck and body, which may lead to warping or cracking over time. It is important to use the appropriate gauge of strings recommended by the guitar manufacturer to avoid potential damage.
