I really like Ben's acoustic tone. I've never seen him in concert but I really enjoy the vids on youtube of his last solo acoustic tour.

I know he uses Gibson acoustics - does anyone know what strings (and string guage) and picks he uses? By picks I mean, when he is using a pick and not fingerpicking.

Thanks.

Ah well, he uses Jim Dunlop picks. Just go to here for all of their gear. And they use d'addario strings.

No, please don't, that list is from somewhere around 2004 and even then it was lacking. But ok, strings and picks might still be the same.

It doesn't have all of their instruments but they just updated it so it's somewhat up to date. And for what he's asking it's correct information.

yeah, but isn't a couple of guitars lacking, and that keyboard setup can't be correct can it? And nick does not play the microkorg anymore, nor does Ben use the drumpads.
