I will soon be the proud owner of a J185 12 string (my first ever 12 string). I need some ideas for replacement strings when the time comes. Looking for something with:

- same gauge/tension as Gibson's factory strings
- good longevity
- no coating

Have you tried contacting Gibson to see which strings (including gauge) they ship the guitar with?

Also, please post photos of the guitar when she arrives! :hank

Thanks for sharing, very interesting read (and gorgeous guitar!) If I may ask what was the ballpark for a guitar like that?

In the range of a new dreadnaught or jumbo style body acoustic guitar from Gibson.
