Strings

[Jimmy Prince]

I want to get a extra set of strings for when I get my lap steel. whats a good brand and gauge?

Jimmy, I don't want to come off as rude and to discourage conversation (because this forum could really use it!), but there is a goldmine of information in the archives of this forum that you can search through and find just about any info you could ever hope for. Strings and bars and such have been discussed literally dozens of times and there is a lot of really good input from players that you may not see around here anymore, so it is definitely worth digging in.

Sounds good Mike I for sure will take a look. Thanks.

Jimmy,
I'd ask Doug Beaumier because whatever he's using sounds outstanding.
Probably tell him what guitar you're going to put them on.

Jimmy ... welcome to the forums! What kind of steel are you getting?

As Mike points out, tons of good info to be found here. In case you don't stumble across it, John Ely has a helpful page covering strings and a handy chart for gauges here http://www.hawaiiansteel.com/learning/gauges.php
