Are any of you aware of any of the internet string shops that sell custom gauge string sets for the DADGAD tuning or - have you had to buy singles to make up a set?. I’m new to this tuning and assume the string set would be similar to - .053/.042/.032/.022/.017/.013? thanks |

Doug, I haven't looked specifically for DADGAD strings. However, I have never seen the need as I play almost exclusively in alternate tunings and just use med-light gauge strings. I'll check around a bit though and if see some I'll let you know. |

Seems like Kevin Ryan had his own custom sets he was marketing, not sure who made them. |

Doug, John Pearse strings do a New Medium: 0.013", 0.017", 0.024", 0.032", 0.042", 0.055" and Medium Light: 0.013", 0.018", 0.024", 0.032", 0.042",0.052". I think the GHS Laurence Juber signature strings are similar. Kevin Ryan's were D'Addarios who frustratingly don't sell these commercially. I use D'Addario EJ16's which I buy in bulk and then buy individual 0.017" and 0.013" strings. The trebles don't have to be changed as often and I can use the spare 0.016" and 0.012" on my bouzoukis and citterns. |

Thanks for the replies. Dave - the D'Addario's with the string subs were just what I was looking for. Just ordered a couple sets. thanks |
