Hi guys!
My friend has a Fender GM-17 (made in 1996) acoustic guitar and would like to change the strings! Any suggestions on which brand should she buy?

Strings are an important choice and you should consider all the options. My personal favorite acoustic strings are Martin SP. If ease on your fingers is important be sure to get lighter guage. Many people say that this kind of choice sacrifices tone, but you need to play to get any sound! You can compensate somewhat with a more aggressive style, but like so many things surrounding this topic, it is highly subjective. Use those high tech devices on each side of your head, when all else fails.
all the best!

thank you very much for your answer!

btw, do you know what kind of strings has the CD-60 (or any other Fender acoustic) when you buy it?
