So, I'm the proud new owner of a skylark. Couple questions:

* what strings are the ideal for this. I was thinking DR 10s, or D'Addario Chrome Flatwound Jazz Light (11s). What do y'all think?

* on electronics, which cavity do I open to tweak the pots. I heard there are pots to tweak on the inside, but am not sure what these do.

Thanks! I love my Alembic. Jeez - I am already selling my other guitars :D

Hi Tdiddy and welcome to the club. Glad you like your Skylark. Here's a pic of the Skylark' electronics.

Woot Woot -- another Skylark owner! Welcome! FWIW, I'm using Elixir Nanoweb 10's and love them.

I almost feel sorry for your other guitars ....
