I think I was using 11's. On my partscaster, I use 9's. On a "real" acoustic I use bluegrass gauge, 12-56, so I was coming down a bit but it still pretty much shot the electric side of the equation. It was pretty close to a realistic acoustic sound though, as close as many acoustic/electrics out there.
Again, I think I may have liked the guitar had I had more realistic expectations. I was hoping for the equivalent of two good guitars -100/100 -and it just wasn't there. If I had been happy with 75/25 or 50/50, or realized that it offered some sounds that neither a pure acoustic nor a pure electric have, it would have been a good purchase.
