Those are the factory Elixir PB light (12s).

Money/Value is debatable and subjective. I love the concept (utilizing local woods) and the design specs. I'm not in the market, but I am still going to go and spend some time with one.

Thank you for the pics (very nice looking guitar) and the soundbite.
It's strung from the factory with Elixir PB light (12s). Once the jangliness of the new strings settles down I'm sure it'll mellow the sound a bit.

In my head I was thinking mediums (13s) but was looking at the post above mine and wrote 12

Old age rears its head again......

Given the short scale and rigid bracing, I'd also be curious to hear how it sounds with a half med/light set. A 056 E and 045 A would probably make the bass a bit more powerful.
but I would err on the side of caution, before putting a full med set on.

Casino guitars has a good shootout video on youtube. Compared against a GSm koa, AD17, 312-12 fret.

Jeremy, your recording of the GT sounds better than anything else I’ve heard on this model up to now. I was impressed! Congrats and enjoy!

I like the cut of its jib.

The first song sounds like "World I Know" by Collective Soul

That Roasted Euculpytus should have been fully black instead of streaked
