What strings do you all use for your acoustics? |

I'm an Ernie Ball guy but Martin Acoustic SP 80/20 12's are the best sounding acoustic strings I have ever heard/played. String gauge also has to do with body type more than feel. It makes more of a difference than on an electric guitar. 12's are pretty standard. |

i also have a 12 string Cort acoustic. Never changed the strings on that bad boy.
Would i just use standard strings x2 or are there any specialised 12 string strings? |

You'll have to get a 12 string set |

The new Ernie Ball Everlast strings are nice, the do last a long time and they don't feel like coated strings. They come in 80/20 or Phospher Bronze in many sizes also. Worth the extra $ to me. |
