Either way, I would maybe try .012 gauge strings or just another set of the .013s rather than trying to customise the string sizes so early on in your ownership of the J45.
Good luck and have fun experimenting!

No, the A’s volume seemed well balanced in the beginning, but I noticed that its vibration amplitude was as high as that of the low E. I could see Now after three months the A doesn’t vibrate as widely as at first. I can still hear the notes on the A string in full chords, though. But would they ring out more with a lighter string?
