thanks, I'll try that

it might be just me over reacting a bit - several strings seem to go out of tune quicker than I would think, but maybe they were new already. I just bought it used from the shop I take lessons from, and it looks so new, in fact the price was just under the new price. I don't know enough yet to determine what strings are in it but I think it's probably 10's. And, I'm probably hitting the strings a little hard, coming from my acoustic. I'll just keep at it for a while, keep tuning it - if it gets excessive, I'll change the strings.........thanks for the reply . I equate it to learning a new tennis racquet or golf club - it is such a sweet sound though, I'm really enjoying it. jimmy

thanks for the reply - I think I will try both the 9-42 and 10-46. I'm guessing it came with the 10-46.

...retired about 4 years and always wanted to learn. Started lessons 4 months ago with a Silvertone acoustic - have now graduated to a beautiful semi-hollow Shreaton II Pro. I love this thing and can't wait to grow into it. I am having trouble with the strings in it, though. Wanted ask what type/brand do you guys feel works best with this guitar, given my level. thanks jimmy
