TheWarAgainstTime
"TWAT" for short
Some of my 6 string guitars/tunings can get close enough with off-the-shelf sets, but I mostly build my own sets out of single strings. My lowest tuning is "only" F, so I haven't had a need to go larger than an 80, which is the largest D'addario single from what I can tell. I order from stringsandbeyond.com since they frequently run at least a 10% coupon and have a very low threshold to get free shipping ![Metal :metal: :metal:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hookem.gif)
I tried LaBella years ago and was impressed by their range of options. The strings themselves were good, but I didn't like that they came in regular paper sleeves vs sealed packages like D'addario. I generally order in bulk, so some of the strings already sounded dead by the time I got to the last set. I'd be open to trying them again in a smaller quantity, though. A friend of mine will be having me set up his new 8 string Agile soon with a custom Stringjoy set, which will be my first time trying them out.
