I haven't messed with the setup yet beyond intonation but changing the strings really brought the instrument to life. The "vintage strings" that it shipped with sounded rather boomy and muddy. Now when I play the open low E string (clean and / or unplugged) its sounds like a grand piano... Much improved. I went with D'addarios XL 010 - 046.
