Default .11- 50 gauge strings

Just wondering if a CF guitar will accept this gauge of strings . I am looking for ease of playing !Thanks.

Why not? I tried .14-.59s once just to see what sort of miserable experience it would be....

sure.

i settled on nickel bronze 11-52 on an Emerald X20 after trying a bunch of others. Seems easy to play to me.

I use 11 -52 on my Rainsong Smokey as well.

Changing the string gauge on a CF guitar hardly affects the action due to the stiffness of the material.
