sakorick Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 What would be the best strings for my Epiphone Texan? I have heard both light and medium from 2 different sources. Recommendations appreciated, Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger11 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 What would be the best strings for my Epiphone Texan? I have heard both light and medium from 2 different sources. Recommendations appreciated, Rick. I think most Epiphone acoustics are shipped with 12s which is medium for most brands although it's personal taste as to what you use. I use Elixir lights (11s) on my EJ160e and prefer them to mediums (although I think this guitar is shipped with electric 11s). There are a few posts that have the Official String Guages attached - I tried to attached it but had to shrink it down a fair bit and it came out too small to read. I could email it if you like. Dodger PS there are quite few Texan owners on here that I'm sure will share their preferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Can't speak for the Texan, but I recently bought a Masterbilt AJ500M. I confirmed with Epi that they come shipped with 12's, I personally like, and have used for years, D'Addario EXP16's, (80/20 phosphor/bronze) 12-53 gauge on this and other acoustics. Nice sound and last quite a bit as well. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteWilson Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I use Elixir Nanowebs 12s on all, or nearly all my acoustic guitars. I tend to finger pick acoustics, and I love the way they sound. Longevity is great, too! YMMV Play well! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
