2012 Hummingbird original

[the other side]

I have a 2012 Epiphone Hummingbird the original cherry sunburst, without electronics. It's just the regular Ole standard one that was about 299.00 back then. Does anyone actually know the original string guage that came on that guitar 🤔? Thx.

The string gauge for your Epiphone Hummingbird guitar is  ( .12-.53 ) These are considered to be light stings. I use them on everything including my Gibson Hummingbird. These are what came standard on it. Many of them came with PB strings, but I often prefer 80/20 stings for clarity of tone, but that is a personal choice. My string of choice for decades has been Elixir 80/20, or PB in light guage (.12-.53) ..they cost a lot more, they last ten times longer, even years  on your guitar if you don't play a lot. Hope this helps.
