String Sets for E13 (8, Leon McAuliffe) ??

[Jim Fogarty]

Short of buying single strings (which can be a pain. I play multiple stringed instruments), are there any available sets that will work for Leon McAuliffe E13....or close enough??? .

I prefer nickel.....wound or pure.

Thanks!

Here's Cindy Cashdollar's gauges, for example:

You might be able to make do from an Ernie Ball C6 Pedal Steel set.

If so, I could sell you three sets for a reasonable price. I also have some Cobra Coil C6 sets, but they have a 70 on the bottom.

That's the front neck tuning on my D8. If you find a set like that all put together let me know.

If you want pre-packaged 8-string sets with your own specified gauges, Stringjoy will make them up for you at $16 per set (buying multiples gets you a discount).

I use the SIT 8 string A6 set for the Leon E13. You can get them right here on the SGF. Click "Strings" at the top of the page or use this link. Supports the Forum.

I also use the A6 set (0.015 - 0.050) on my Stringmaster for E13, it's close enough for me.

Thanks all. Great ideas. Looked into PSG C6 sets, and I think this one almost nails it......plus I'll have a couple leftover strings for other instruments.

There are 3 options for 8 string E13 in the forum store. All are lighter gage than the example for Cindy Cashdollar, so I'm not sure if they would meet your needs. But FYI...
