I have a 1974/75 320 and I was wondering What kind of strings would have come on it if you bought it new? I have a set of Rickenbacker round wound 12s I got for it but what gauge would the originals have been? And would they have been flat wound in 1974?

Wow, that white plastic on the pickguards sure has yellowed over time! Neat guitar though.
