Tim: The factory set for which you are looking is RIC No. 95403 and I believe the following photo provides you with all the details.

Thanks, I just thought after I read your reply, what I should have said was, is this what they usually send new guitars out with ? I have a new unused 360 Fireglo, and it is already set up ok. I want to establish what gauge are on it.

Tim: Your guitar, as far as I am aware, is strung at the factory with the set pictured above. You can certainly confirm this officially by sending an email to [email protected]

That image of RIC strings looks vaguely familiar...
