  • @flatpikinguitar Thank you!

  • @Th3C4ke It depends on how your guitar is set up. if its a dreadnought, its probably best set up for med gauge strings. I would probably go with med and have your guitar set up for them if its not already. there a little bit heavier and tend to bring more volume and sustain out of the guitar. and they usually stay in tune better as well. i suggest elixer nanowebs in either 80/20, or phosphor. they last well over 5 times as long for me. hope this helps!

  • Hello there! I have just 1 question...

    I'm thinking about to buy the Yamaha CPX700NT guitar. I play the Andy McKee / Don Ross style, lots of harmonics and drumming.

    Should I buy Light , medium or heavy strings? Please answer as fast as possible, cheers.

  • @teddyboysmith2 use 12 gauge strings i recomend daddario

  • @thomas076dr i use 13 gauge strings and i play in drop d on mi electric on my acoustic i use 12 gauge

  • @PhrikaPhresh light

  • @thomas076dr thank u!!!

  • Light

  • Stairway to heaven, Light or heavy?

  • @impossibleznothing it would be better to use a gauge 11 or 10... 12's can be painful...
