Hey,
you played this here so nicely with an acoustic and still don't like it https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=32273 I can't understand you. I wish i could play like that on a acoustic -------------------- My gear:

I always go for 0.12 on acoustic. That's just the right tension for me in normal tuning but I guess it's a personal preference. On electric I use hybrid set 9 - 46.
Btw, whay don't you like playing acoustic? I have just graded your take on acoustic, you did awesome job there. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

I think being it an acoustic instrument, heavier gauge would generate a louder and fuller sound. I would go for .11 or .12

Be sure to try Elixirs for acoustic tho, gauge is up to you but I would say 011-012.

12-52 seems like a nice gauge for acoustic, but you'll never know until you try couple of gauges and see what suits you best. It's a matter of balance between tone and comfort.
