That I-I-IV-V chord progression comes from an early-'60's saxophone instumental called "Wild Weekend". I can't remember the artist, but you might be able to find a clip of it on YouTube--it was a pretty big hit. The intro riff is identical to "Blitzkrieg Bop"--proof that you can't keep a good riff down!

Gauge? I Don't remember... I never changed the strings on this thing! Its been about a year since I bought Sheena and I never changed her strings... I'll ask my dad see what he says.

You should probably get some new strings, (D'addario Nickel Wound .10-46s or .10-.52s) And a set up. A proper guitar set up always makes it sound better. You'd be surprised about how much of an improvement you'll hear.
