cube_monkey -> Manufacturers choice of strings on a guitar. (May 12 2020 20:40:19)

Hello there,
When a company like Cordoba or whoever (well except for a hand made top of the line), do they put the set on that works "best" with the guitar as there are high tension, light tension ect. With Electric guitars (which I can adjust) and basses, for example, they stick D'addario's on them with the tag. Course been fooling with electrics so long, dont care what they like (or they got a deal on the strings!), I put on what I like.
I was just checking because a classical/Flamenco guitar is more fragile, so like with my new Cordoba G5, they put on Savarez HIGH TENSION 500CJ. They ship the guitars tuned down to C (smart). bringing it up to E causes a bow in the neck, so gentle over time truss rod time (and i have to keep in mind this is not a electric, higher action is needed -- or better from what I heard.
As with any guitar forum, string posts are many -- which is good, so I am aware of brand X vs brand Y vs low tension vs high tension (vs hard tension which I thought was the same thing :) :) :)).
My friends luthier who built his guitar prefers the D'addario E-j45, course i never met a set of d'addario i liked :) (nothing against them). he sent me a set, so when i wear these Savarez out, what the heck, try 'em. It won't effect my ability to copy Carlos Montoya note for note. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH :)
Thank you all. Really love learning all this. A fun new world.
