I have a new F 512. I will be playing it only tuned down to D. I have heard a number of recommendations on string gauges for it from guitar technicians. One says it could handle up to a 'heavy' set, meaning .013 at top like the Taylor Kottke 12, if tuned to D. Another technician recommends at most a medium '.012' on top. I'm leaning toward that. I don't mind the slightly lighter gauge and feel. Typically with my six-string I like medium gauges. What do the 12-string aficionados here use and recommend?
