67 Gibson J50

What strings would be recommended for a 1967 Gibson J-50?

I've been using D'Addario light gauge Phosphor bronze on my '67 J-50 since the Reagan daze. Been quite happy with the sound the guitar produces.

thanks I''ll give them a try

Hi Gooseman,

My suggestion is to let your J-50 make the decision for herself. Try a bunch of different brands of strings, and give them a couple of weeks with her. Although this process can take months, eventually one brand will stand out.

I like zabdart's D'addario suggestion, they have worked well for me although I never used them on a late 60s J-50 that I used to own. On my Hummingbird I'm on the fence between Elixer Nanos and John Pearse PB.

But your guitar knows what she wants, she just doesn't speak English lol

The same ones for any year J-50.
