<![CDATA[optimal side position for Fingerpicking/ Fingerstyle]]>Hello all,
I would like to know what string action do you play fingerpicking/ fingerstyle with?
And what string gauge do you play fingerpicking/ fingerstyle with?

The setting on my Guilt Jumbo guitar is 2.2 - 2.6
Currently I use DAddario EJ26 Custom Light .011-.052

Somehow I am dissatisfied with the sound and feel ...

I know there is no best default ... but feel pretty lost right now and would love to hear your experiences.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Manito =)

Hi there!
I set my guitar necks very straight, and I have as low action as I can without the strings buzzing. Sometimes this requires a fret job, to get it comfortably set up. I use daddario phosphor bronze 12-53.

Sometimes, when you feel disappointed with the sound and feel, it can simply be because of the guitar - but you might not know exactly what you're looking for in a guitar.
Did you try many different guitars yet, or do you feel like you've found the right one?
Kind regards/Emil form Sweden
