    String gauge

    I play a Shecter Blackjack ATX c-7 (26.5") on A-E-A-D-G-B-E tuning. The lowest string always seems to be out of tune a little bit. I was told that it is because the lowest string has to be thicker. What gauge would you recommend?

    D'Addario single strings in UK?

    I am interested in getting myself a 7 string and i MUCH prefer Daddario strings over Ernie ball. I am struggling to find a place that does a single 60 or 62 gauge Daddario string to add to a 9-46 set. Anyone have any ideas where i can order a batch of strings from in the UK?

    Minimum string tension for "tuning stability"

    The title might have been a little misleading but I didn't know how else to put it: I'm trying to find the best gauge string for the lowest, 7th string tuned to drop A (25.5" scale). I'd also like the string to be usable in B standard and I happen to prefer the sound and feel of less thick...
