I have had it strung with lights; always 80/20s - Elixirs, Martin SP and D'Addario.

I am wondering if a set of light mediums might drive a bit more volume and.....well, this is where I would welcome ideas from the AGF

Thanks, all!

Hi Kh...

Fatter pick, play more over the sound hole.

Thicker strings may give more volume and at the same time make the sound more muddy or the action harder to play. There are always trade offs...
