I use lights on my guitars and my 2014 CJ35G sounds best with Martin MM12.

Always open to something new. Lately I've tried Martin strings, GHS, D'Addadio....a few sets of different types, but I always keep coming back to John Pearse strings. I like JP 80/20s and Silk and Steel.

Waiting on the CJ 45-T. Do you think your string choices would work on this new model?
Thanks for posting!!

I do, and they'll work nicely. Having said that, I have also found another string I really like. I've never been a fan of coated strings, as to me, they muted the guitar. About 6 months ago I picked up a pack of D'Addario XT strings and fell in love. I actually now have them on both my D2HA and my D1A, and I love them. Just a beautiful sound and they last forever. They've made me eat some crow regarding my previous opinion on coated strings. I don't presently have them on my CJ G, but that would be the closest guitar I've got to your CJ45. I wouldn't hesitate to try either on your CJ.
Let me know what you think if you do try them.
