I know I should do a search but I would rather practice than spend 2 hours looking, sorry. I use D'addario xl's and they arn't long enough to go through the back and have enough winding to go over the nut. Without naming any crazy strings from space what relativily normal round wound nickle strings would be long enough to work besides the SIT trash it came with new?

I think it's usually just the thicker ones. I like how taperwounds sound anyways.

You just need to order the "super long" XL sets. Any of the DRs will work as well.
