I was wondering which brand is better - Fender or Epiphone in terms for acoustic guitars because that are kinda in the same price range. Anyone an experienced guitarist?


Answer
Same price range? Do you mean the $199 range or the $899 range? Those two companies make a wide range of guitars.

Your question is like asking "who makes the best running shoe?" Comparing Fender and Epiphone is like comparing Nike to New Balance. Professionals use both and it depends on preferences.

Having said that, it doesn't mean that all guitars in the same price range are the same. You have to consider the details. An acoustic guitar with a solid spruce top will sound better than one with a laminated top.

So, it's hard to generalize. You need to look at the specific guitars. But both Fender and Epi are respected brands.

What kind of guitar stings does the epiphone pr5-e electric acoustic guitar use?

Like how big are the strings supposed to be and are they supposed to be regular bronze? Like does anyone know the exact strings or close to the exact strings on the guitar when you first get it? I got a pack and the strings were wayyyy to thick to go in the hole in the headstock and they were light. btw its the Epiphone pr5-e electric acoustic guitar.


Answer
I'll be honest, I'm not sure how you found strings that were way to thick to go through the holes... that doesn't sound right. What kind of strings did you buy? For all guitars, you can more or less change out strings regardless of size and brand. It's mostly just a preference thing. I'm pretty sure they come with D'Addario light gauge strings... if you want them to last longer, grab some EXP ones. They're the coated bronze ones. Some people hate them, others love them. Again, all a preference thing. I personally like the coated D'Addario light gauge ones for my Dean and will onlyyyy use Elixir Polyweb light for my Taylor.
