I have only built 4 acoustic guitars as well as some banjos, ukes and electric instruments but I would think that choosing strings after the guitar is built is an easier way to go. I seem to usually wind up with Bluegrass gauge 12-56 though, works for me.

I just bought a used recording king dirty 30s series 7 parlor, strings were dead as expected so I mounted what I had on the shelf which was some silks.
So I bought some Daddario Bluegrass 12–56 light top medium bottom phosphor bronze EJ 19s. Going to mount those at some point and hope for the best. I finger pick. Low skill level. Think I’m on the right track?
