Does anyone know the proper string gauges to use on an MSA Side kick? A friend has bought one & wants me to set it up for him. Any help will be appreciated!

Just about any E9 set would work.
I'm not sure if it'd like a .012 third, but I don't think any common variants would bother it.
After all, it doesn't lower 6 to F#, so even a wound 6th should do fine.
