69tele Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 hi folks just ordered an EJ200 CE today and was wondering what gauge the stock strings are ? thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I think they come with 12's but to be honest the stock strings didn't stay on mine long enough for me to bother to find out. The SJ's really benefit from a heavy gauge (well medium/heavy by acoustic standard) set - 13's or 14's I find the CE works really well with Martin Bronzes 13's which seem to tame the overly aggressive high end of the CE better than Phos Br strings.

strumbert Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have 3 EJ-200's and they all get by on different gauge strings.#1 is very responsive, and does well with extra lights.# 2 doesn't really require any particular gage, so I put lights on it. #3 is a sunburst, while the other 2 are natural, and I don't know if the extra paint has an effect or not, but it really shines with medium gauge strings. I guess I'm saying that it depends on the guitar itself. I always try to get by with the lightest gauge I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are yours CE's of straight EJ200's as I've noticed that it's the CE version that seems to work better with Medium/Heavy strings. Maybe something to do with the cutaway.
