Default X10 strings?

Haven't got my x10 yet, but thinking what kind of strings I should buy for it. These are on sale now:

Also found this bit not sure if it applies the same to the x10.

Have you asked Emerald what they ship it with? It might vary according to the pickup configuration that you've chosen.

I have a note into them currently. We'll see what they say.

The answer from Kevin at Emerald:

Hey Jim

You can put electric guitar strings if you prefer but I personally think the acoustic sound great with the humbucker.
Its gives a strong resonant tone and is really enjoyable to play. We put Daddario EXP 11 0.012 gauge strings on our X10s.

Kind regards

Kevin

I first used GHS White Bronze about 20 years ago. At first when gigging I used a removable magnetic sound hole pickup, and the 52% nickel alloy is magnetically sensitive. Then I realized that these strings also sounded good for a long time - often three months or more. They were my preferred long-life strings before coated strings like Elixir was on the market, and I still use them on certain acoustic guitars.

I recently discovered that GHS also makes a twelve string set in this alloy, but have not been able to order them yet. They seem to be not stocked by most suppliers.
