    String gauge for 12 Acoustic

    Hey....what gauge are you all using on your 12 string acoustics.
    Right now I'm using an extra light set 10-47. Not all that happy with them. Kinda buzzy and limp. I am pretty heavy handed.
    Wondering if I could keep the same action and go with something a little stouter and get rid of some buzz and get better sound from the piezo.
    Just wondering if the extra lights are a "normal" gauge.
    I have a two hour solo gig coming up and I want to do it all with this guitar. I don't talk a whole lot..so it'll be non-stop.
    Concerned with fatigue if I go with something heavier.

    Thanks all!! Rock on!....in an acoustic sort of way

    Don't go too heavy. You should consider the manufacturer's recomendations.

    I guess I won't go too heavy. Maybe I'll just lighten my touch.
