I use 9 gauge strings In E standard. I like my strings to feel pretty loose, hands don't cramp up as much. If your having a hard time fretting the high notes, your action might need to be adjusted to compensate. Just a thought.
Hey there! It's going very well, I restrung it the other day and gave it a clean up, afterwards I just stared at it for like 5 minutes! Sounds so much better with the Lundgren than the X2N but It was pretty hard to get a sound that I'm really happy with, the Lundgren is a a bit of a one-trick pony but it's a damn good trick so I'll stick with it.
So far no complaints from me about the guitar, how's yours?
