What strings come with CIJ Fenders out of the box?

[30hrz]

Just wondering what the gauge is on the strings of my Fender Jaguar. It'll help me decide what gauge of string I want to replace them with (prolly DR). Looking either the same or a bit firmer.

Cheers.

I think they are fender stainless steels. Black wrap right?

[30hrz]

No wrap. Just the ones that came strung up to my bass. I think they are medium (?).

You can check fenders website. There is a good chance, if you bought it from a store, they no longer have the stock strings.

Wow I didn't know they listed the strings that come with the guitar, thanks. Are the DR Lo-Riders a little stiffer or about the same?

Cheers.

[SGT. Pepper]

Depends. The nickel Lo-Riders are stiff. The steel ones are pretty supple. Stiffer than Hi-Beams, but not as stiff as the nickel Lo-Riders. You might want to try Fender 7150's Pure Nickel Rounds. They are warm after a week and the most percussive roundwound out there. No flop whatsoever.
