Does anyone know what real gouges are the stock strings? Because in rondo site it says "String gauges: .009, .012, .015, .022, .030, .040, .054, .072", but I don't feel the bottom F# tight enough like it should be with a .072.
What tuning are you in Darren? I think I am going to try the .9-.42 = .56 and .68 in F#. If I recall correctly you tune lower don't you? If that doesn't work well. I will go .10-.46 and .56 and the .72 bass string as I use Elixers as well. I wish they made a bigger guitar string than .68.

Yeah, I know. I got mine this morning and was like, NFW that's a .072. I grabbed a digital caliper from work and checked - it's a .060.
Okay then I will definately go with the .9-.42 set for the first 6.

I LIKE JUICE!!!
Does anybody know what string gauges are used on the stock strings? I know there are gauges listed on the site, but at least the F# string is different from what it's supposed to be.
Edit: I got a set of calipers on it, and it appears to be a .064". Didn't somebody say that a .060" was hard to get through, though?

Based on caliper readings mine were .009, .012, .015, .024 (caliper said .0245 so I'm fairly sure it wasn't a .022 as listed on site), .030, .040, .054, .060 (obviously way off from .072)
Ricez said that he would sell custom D'Addario sets for $8.50 each (not including shipping).

I think this sounds like the best way to go without buying in bulk.

the fretboard looks great! Love the two lighter "stripes" in the grain!
Thought I'd throw up a vid of me dicking about with my Intrepid. Aint the best sound due to the awful 2x12 my Invader is running through, but it gives an idea of it all at least

My string sizes worked out perfect as my luthier told me it would. He drilled the tuner hole to fit the 70 and had to slot the nut a bit but the tension using the low strings feels perfect with the higher action I have. Sounds totally different.
Man now I'm bummed. I got the e-mail early yesterday morning saying my ghostburst was ready to ship. I thought it was strange that it didn't go out. I just got an e-mail from Kurt telling me that on final inspection there was not actually a ghostburst dual in the box, but an Oceanburst with single pickup. Now I'm not sure if I should take the Oceanburst or wait til the next run. Funny thing is I was actually going to order an Oceanburst Standard single on the preorder, but missed it. Really disappointed, especially seeing how sweet it looks in Wounds pics. I guess it's better they found it now and not me opening the box. Man I have the worst luck.

For everyone posting pics, do your guitars come with the cases, or did you have to order them?
