6119 strings
Hi...I just bought my first Gretsch and it's on its way. A 2005 Tennessee Rose.
Just wondering what strings are suggested for that model
thanks!

I would recommend something no lighter than an .011 for the high E. I use D'Addario EXL115s on my hollowbodies.

I have a 2005 Rose myself, I like D'Addario EXL115W on mine, this set has a wound 3rd string, mine was "too busy" with a plain G on it!
