When I bought this guitar off my ex-boss it had, I presume, the original strings on it. It sounded nice, it was about four years old, and even though it hadn't been played much I decided to replace the strings.
I replaced with a good set of light gauge, phosphor bronze strings, but now it doesn't sound quite as good as it did. I am assuming that the light gauge strings are not enough to drive the top, and that I will have to replace with a set of at least medium gauge, if not heavy, strings to bring it back to sounding as it did when I bought it.
Could anyone tell me what strings would have been fitted by Yamaha at the factory? Their own make I would suspect, but you never know.
Have any other FG 401 owners any reccomendations on string gauges, or anything else which might make this guitar sound better.
