Default Strings for a J-15

What do you guys like on a 2018 J-15? PBs? 80/20s? Something else?

Asking for a friend...

I've gone through a lot of different brands on mine since I got it to try and find the "right ones", and to my surprise, Ernie Ball Earthwood (PBs) instantly sounded "right" to me. I didn't think they'd be anything, they were the last ones in my pile to try.

Try it with 13-56 Monels, trust me they won't be disappointed.

Earthwood PB's are really good strings. I like them on my Martin OM-16 and my Yamaha FG800.
