I have a newly acquired (second-hand) Hathway OM1 with a cedar top. It's strung with the Newtone 14/24/34/48 gauge set that Paul Hathway recommends. I'm finding these rather heavy, so I wondered if anyone has any experience of alternative gauges on these instruments. My problem may be compounded by what I feel is a rather high action (about 3.5mm at the 12th fret). I should probably get this sorted, but any advice on strings would be much appreciated in the meantime.
