hmm.. Do you know if theres any cheaper alternative? It'll cost me 93 dollars without the shipment, and considering I live in Sweden I dont think the shipping will be cheap:(

Newtone??? www.newtonestrings.com

They might be just as expensive, if they can do it. There are lots of guys here with 6+ stringed beasts, one should chime in soon.

:D

I believe the only ones they carry there are the octave sets, not what you are looking for.

i think thats what he meant, you can buy strings in singles. just pick the brand and the size.

You can buy either the 6 or 7 string set and add the singles.
