| Hi all,
I bought my Custom Balladeer second-hand, so I don't have the user manual. I've been using lights (force of habit), but want to move up to mediums.
What is the *recommended* string gauge?
Thanks in advance,
Scott |

Once you get "used" to playing 'em, you'll LOVE 'em! . . . |

Location: Tennessee | It's a personal choice. I tried going to mediums, but they are just too stiff for how I play. I've settled on 12-54 for most of my acoustics. The dreads get a heavier bottom. |

| Thanks, both.
This just in from Ovation Customer Service:
We use and recommend D'Addario EXP16 coated light gauge phosphor bronze strings. If the guitar is in good condition, mediums should be fine after an appropriate setup. |
