Classic, simple, affordable.. Nothing strange.. Went up gauge with the Heavy low, light high strings 10/52. But remember, if you go for 52 size on the heavy E it is not sure it will fit in the hole of all tuning pegs at the headstock. I had Fender F tuners and it didnt fit so one side of the tuning post broke and I had to wrap the string around just the remaining side of the tip of the tuning post. It worked, but a bummer to break the thing.. I tried to use a small sharp tool to widen the whole slightly to make the string fit and that is how it broke.. Those tuner posts look like metal but it was plastic! Think about that. Otherwise the 52 low E is really smooth and fat and stabile.
