Members Hopeless Romantic Posted December 11, 2004 Members Share Posted December 11, 2004 What size strings normally come on Takamine guitars you purchase them? I like the guage and don't want to mess with neck tension by putting a different size on them. Therefore, I wanted to get the same size. Does anyone know what they put on their guitars in the factory? What is a good brand of strings for an acoustic? I think the guitar came with elixers but they seem rather expensive and some of the reviews at Musicians Friend said they break easily. What do you recommend?

Members seven7 Posted December 11, 2004 Members Share Posted December 11, 2004 usually they come with acoustic lights. 12-53 or 12-52 gauge. somewhere along in there. as for which strings that is all a matter of personal preference. there is no way to find out what you like best unless you spend some money and try out different sets.

Does anyone on here have issues with Elixers breaking a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
