Six string flats?

Sign in to disble this ad
Well, I just ordered some rounds literally 2 days ago :/, but the curiosity of flats has got the best of me. Are there any companies other than roto that make 6 string flats? I checked to see if fender did but the 9050s only come in 5s :/. If not I'll end up buying the Rotos, but I just wanted to see what my options were

Well chromes sells a high C so I bought that separately. I believe a lot of companies do. Goto juststrings.com and they got plenty or you can buy the individual strings to make a set

Carvin has some 6 string flats. I was gonna check em out myself in a few weeks when I have a place to have them shipped to.

Link here: Carvin.com :: FW60

I know that Carvin can keep its products cheap by selling factory-direct, but the price of these seems almost too good to be true... Still worth a try I guess though. I mean, they sell LaBellas for dirt cheap too.

PS
if you decide to get these, please let me know how they work for you.

GHS Precision Flats can be had in a 6 string set, too. Buy the 5 string set, and add the single .028 C string.
