Do the medium guage have ball ends on the strings.?

Actually a tiny ring. Works the same. On my acoustic, I just push it down a hole behind the bridge and a peg holds it in place. I've been using Ernie Ball strings since the 70's and they have always been like this.

Would this guage be suitable for Gibson Acoustic guitar with 12-53 guage?,would Ihave to widen nut slots?

Hi there, these should fit on your Gibson no problem.

Do these sets have a plain or wound G?

Hi thereIt's a very thin wound stringThanksRockem

Would these be any good for a 3 string cigar box guitar?

This instrument is an Appalachian dulcimer. You can hear one played on Joni Mitchell "Blue", opening track, They have three strings or sometimes three double-course arrangements or a variant of this. Any guitar strings will be OK for length but you need to decide the gauge yourself - depends on how you tune it. Start with a wound "D", a wound "G" and a plain "B" or "E". Buy these separate rather than sets. If you don't know how to tune it - Google or listen to Joni Mitchell's "Blue" and Fairport Convention "Unhalfbricking" has a track with featured dulcimer.
