Also Tony, I'll mention that I don't use anything other the Elixir strings on my guitar, though for tone reasons I don't go any lower than medium-light.

Yeah, agreed about the tone. This guitar is supposed to have 12's, and the salesman handed me a pack of 10's and said he was "sure they were the right gauge".

What's the difference between a guitar salesman and a car salesman? The car salesman knows when he's lying.
