Takamine strings?

Unread post by sbhanot » Sat Jul 12, 2003 1:00 pm

I know some of you out there have a takamine acoustic or acoustic electric - I have a takamine 540SC acoustic electric, and I was wondering two things: 1) Does anyone know what the strings it comes with are? (I'm assuming all taks come with the same strings...) and 2) Does anyone know what type of string sounds good with takamines? An answer to either would really help me out - thanks

My takamine came with D'Addario EJ16's, I am not sure if they all come with that though. Also bought mine from a guitar shop as opposed to online. The people in the store might have changed them once or twice, but I have no clue.

The second answer is the same as the first :)

I have an EAN40C and it came with D'Addario uncoated lights.. I think that corresponds with the other reply with EJ16's. I've used quite a variety of strings on this guitar, partly because it was my first acoustic, and I wanted to find what I was comfortable with. I dunno what is "best" really.. I am fan of elixirs.. right now I have polyweb lights on it.. you can actually hear that here since I recorded that the other day. I think I am going to go back to mediums though.
