    (AUS) Where do you get your strings from? Singles/custom sets especially

    As per the thread title. Any suggestions for online stores? Looking for a wide selection as I need to piece together 6 string sets with a high C as thin as 0.028. Piecing together a custom Elixir set has been quite pricey. Keep in mind, in Australia we recently had changes to the tax law so...

    Advanced Reverb Modelling
