It’s advised to use at least a light gauge set on a jumbo sized acoustic. Light gauge is usually 12-54 or 12-53. If you’re an experienced player, a medium gauge set would probably give you more bass and the gauges are usually 13-56.
Coated acoustic strings cost more but last 3-5 times longer than traditional guitar strings and are extremely popular. Manufacturers like Black Diamond, Cleartone, D’Addario, Dean Markley, DR Strings, Elixir, GHS and Rotosound all offer coated acoustic strings. Some people say that coated strings don’t sound as good as non-coated strings but in my humble opinion, this is a lot of hooey.
