What Strings are on your Artist Guitar?

When buying a new guitar it is important to know what to expect. We use a variety of strings on our guitars, and to get the best from your instrument we always recommend fitting new strings and doing a proper set-up on any new guitar. This guide will help you if you're looking to replace your strings with a similar gauge or material to those provided, and can give you some idea of what kind of set-up might be needed when changing from our factory-fitted string gauges.

If you need help changing your strings we have some great guides available here, and some brilliant tips about maintenance and set-ups also.
