What gauge of strings do you use?I normally use 13's but i just got a new guitar (stonebridge acoustic) and it had 12's on it and it sounds really nice, not thin at all, just a nice crisp sound without the boomyness.
I use D'Addario EJ17s which start with a 13. I used to use lighter strings years ago but I finally weaned myself off of them. I have an old Loprinzi LR15 that sounds pretty good with lights on it. Good luck with your new axe.
