Help Please - Choosing E6 strings @ "JustStrings"

Post by Judson Bertoch »

I'm giving a go with the Don Helms E6 tuning (and songbook from the b0b).

I searched the forum and read some threads on this - my conclusion is to go with what Rick Alexander has on his site under "tunings." 12-15-18-22-24-30. This lap is 22.5 scale.

So I went to JustStrings and didn't see a prepackages set with those gauges. Went to "Single Strings" and was overwhelmed.

12+ mfgrs and then many different types/winding/etc per mfgr.

Could folks please recommend some mfgr(s) and type of sting to get for my E6?

Thanks!

Just a suggestion. Why don't you email b0b here at the forum and have him put together a custom set(s) for you.

Service is great and you would be helping preserve this website in the process. Click on the "strings" tab on the top of the page.

Best,

Rich

thanks for the suggestion Rich. b0b can indeed put together a set for me. I didn't know that was option available...

Now I can do all my strings as sets via b0b!
