Jim Kirby -> Default choice for strings on new build? (Mar. 9 2012 12:32:35)

A little different from the "what strings do you use?" thread, understanding that the ultimate choice of strings for a guitar is going to be a decision made between the guitarist and his instrument.

What strings do you typically put on a just-completed guitar that you are sending out the door (assuming the new owner hasn't made that choice)?

(I should provide some context - the guitar is a blanca built according to the GAL Barbero plan. Not done yet so I can't offer any comments on sound or anything.)

I didn't expect that to be such an obscure question. What strings do you put on new guitars when you ship them out the door? I'm truly curious.

As a buyer, I would assume D'Addario EJ45 Pro Artes

Most of them ship the guitars with D' Addario J45 and Composites

Basically I ship with what I have... Most clients change the strings.
At the same time , 80% of the new guitars I send out are with J45 Pro arte. Reasons: cheap, very consistant and lots of players use them. So they are a very good reference point.

krichards -> RE: Default choice for strings on new build? (Mar. 12 2012 6:47:40)

D'addario pro arte like everyone else.
As Anders says, they are the reference point as far as strings are concerned
