You might have to buy 6 string sets and buy single strings for the extra. I do this with my 5s because I tune it EADGC, so I buy a 4 string set and a single extra string in the guage I want.

SIT seems to be quite popular amongst the ERBers.

Definatly check out Ritter's Swordsteel strings. If you want high-end, that's where it's at

my ritter came with the swordsteels, of course, and they were pretty nice, although i'm not that crazy about the stock gauges.

SIT strings rule, imo. the best available option for erb'ers. sr2000's are good too - played custom gauges of them for 7 years and was generally happy, but i would have issues when i got them in bulk with maybe 3-5% of the strings being dead as doornails. that sorta sucks, even at the player discounts i was getting.

Where do you get a hold of these ERB friendly SITs??? I know Conklin sells them, but I can't find anything smaller than a 30 C or bigger than 130 B on www.juststrings.com and when I e-mailed them months ago, I got no response.
