eeh1 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I put a set of Masterbilt 12's on it but I still think it needs 13's. It sounds good but low volume compared to all my other guitars. Does anyone have an SJ200 and what are you using for stringie poos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_Engr Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Put on a set of Elixir Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb coated Medium 0.013 to 0.056 on a J200 - sound is fantastic. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Rotosound Jumbo King 12-54 Phosphor Bronze strings on my SJ200. It isn't the loudest guitar until you hit it with a pick, then that classic huge SJ200 compression kicks in and that big ol' tone blooms forth.

modoc_333 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 200s are screaming for 13s. go ahead and start simple. just grab some Daddario EJ17.... that's the red one. they're cheap and great way to find out if 13s work for it. they are great strings too. i buy them even with other options around.

zombywoof Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Just my 2 1/2 cents but I found ya gotta drive the tops of those older big boxes to get the best out of them so I say yeah - heavier guage strings and a higher action might do the trick.

TWilson Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I agree with Jinder. When using a pick, 12's really put forth the sound. I'm trying D'Addario EJ-19 Bluegrass strings on mine right now after reading that John Lee Walker liked them on his MC. They are mediums on the base end and lights on the treble and sound great. I'd use mediums all the time but my left hand gets a little cramped on me and I like the lights for finger picking. Many folks on this forum prefer mediums so there is a lot of credibility for that selection on a big box like the SJ-200. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
