      Stock strings are just awful. Business decisions have created a mass of just useless guitars with no proper intonation, shitty frets, terrible tuners, and above all else, steel bridge cables for strings. Epiphone executives should be hanged for their crimes against the guitar world, countless new players using their wallets instead of their brain have quit the hobby because of the frustration stemming from unplayable instruments. Spend the money, but not on a “beginner guitar”. Might as well call them the “quitter guitars”.
