strings

Post by Jim McGinnis »

Where can I purchase a set of E13th strings that doesn't have the high g# on top. I just ordered a set from the Forum but it has the high G#.

I use the E on top.
My set is as follows:

E 16p
C# 18p
B 20p
G# 23p
E 30w
D 32w
B 38w
G# 45w
I usually purchase in Dallas but didn't find a vendor selling this year.

You can custom order from "just strings.com." Works for me.

+1. I have shopped JustStrings for 20 years or so.

I buy a lot of their house brand single strings to make up or fill out a set. I pay them with PayPal. Just ordered a bunch of strings from them last week.

They have good service.

Plus one for Just Strings, aside from the Forum here, one of my favorite places to buy strings.

I always order D'Addario Chromes single strings at a local music store around the corner. They order from D'Addario regularly, so they just order it together. I have to wait about 2 weeks sometimes but that's no problem. I always order strings for 3 complete custom sets and Chromes hold forever almost (except the plain steel treble strings but you can buy these everywhere).

I'm gonna start ordering sets of universal 12 string sets. They aren't that expensive and you get lots of options.
