  • Change those strings if they are from the factory. Factory strings usually suck Congrats on the guitar and good luck!

    factory strings do suck, but if you're a beginner, any kind of string is probably going to make your fingers sore at first. I'd recommend .11 gage strings (I prefer DR, but that's me). good luck, stick to it.

    Try Elixir strings for acoustic if you can find them. They might be a little easier on your fingers.

  • I don't know much about that guitar, but I looked it up, and it's got a spruce top, which is good,, and if you're having fun, then, there you go! It's a good guitar.

    Elixer 11's are great strings for beginners. Softer feel and they don't corrode as much. 12's will have more powerful sound, but you just want to get some playing under your belt and have some fun.
    Your fingers will toughen up in pretty quickly though.
    I'll back Novawind up on that until Ian gets here!! :D

    Hey Jamal , Antwerpen was geweldig.
    Was de eerste keer in m'n leven dat ik naar concert ben geweest ,en dat het dan nog eens PearlJam mag zijn was wel vree cool!
    Kheb er alleszins lang genoeg over gedaan om de ticketjes te bemachtigen , man was dat een miserie met goformusic en teleticketservice.
    Maar heb ze toch maar lekker bemachtigd :D.
    En jij , ben jij geweest ???
