Strings for universal 12

Postby ZakTF » Mon Jun 21, 2021 10:50 am

Hi,

How would one find strings for a Universal 12 guitar? At the moment I thinking about ordering an E9 set (dropping the 9th string) and then ordering the extra 3 strings as custom single strings. Does anyone know if this would work well? As when I googled 12 string copedents, they seem to want a couple of the e9 strings to be slightly thicker than usual.

Thanks Gwyndaf, I may message those guys, but they do seem to charge a lot for the thicker strings (a single D'Addario 0.070 costs £4.49 on their site...)

I've PM'd you John
