Question Does a 35-100 or 40/105 set exist?

Sign in to disble this ad
i was looking for that and i dont find any brand that offers a 35-100 or 40-105 gauge set.

I tried to mix and create my own set but i dont get single strings of the same brand´s set to match it, and i cant buy two sets to create one (here the strings are too expensive)

You're ahead of your time maturanesa Those are excellent gauges that produce a slight decrease of tension from low to high strings. I find myself calling this inverted tension, since traditional sets (almost all sets in fact) are the opposite, which is just wrong by straightforward physics.

I'm a big supporter of tension-balanced sets such as Circle K Strings and see equal tension strings as a very necessary revolution, but personally I'm even more of a freak since I like inverted tension, it really helps with tapping, string bending, chording and advanced techniques.

I don't know of any such sets, so it will have to be single strings. I recommend 35 50 70 100 and 40 55 75 105 for a steady decrease in tension.

Check your larger or better music gear stores for Rotosound Swing66 strings sold individually. Not sure about your country, but when I was in England most of the stores carried all the rotosound swing66 strings individually so players could customize set for themself if wanted to.

You can order these kinds of sets custom from Dark Horse and other small makers too.
