southern jumbo Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 What string gauge do SJ's come with from the factory in Bozeman? also would like to know which gauge is recommended and what is the largest gauge you can use. I have a 2005 Historic I purchased in Aug. '05. It left the factory in July '05. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolongermike@gibson Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 If I'm not mistaken, they are 12's, or "medium light" gauge strings. I'll ask around and see if I'm correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern jumbo Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thanks Mike! I've been using 12's & 13's and they sound and play great on my SJ......just wanting to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'm pretty sure Gibson "almost always" ships their acoustics with Gibson Masterbuilt Phos/Brns Lights. (12's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hey Twilson, I noticed your signature line's B.F> quote & it surprised me; Franklin was famously known as "the water American" when he worked in the UK as a young man because of his advocacy of water as a workday beverage instead of beer (an unconventional idea then). His coworkers made fun of him. Back on topic, anybody play heavy gauge strings on their flat-top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 brundaddy - Ha, I don't make 'em up, I just find 'em and write 'em down. I also wondered if Franklin knew what bacteria was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I hear ya, TWilson! You know, I always liked how W.C. Fields put it: "I never drink water. Fish f#ck in it." That guy was a gold mine for great quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 brundaddy- Another quote of W.C.'s that I like is "Who stole the cork out of my lunch?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
