      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
