35" scale string through body.

[Booneman]

I just got a cool USA millenium 5 plus on ebay and when I went to put new strings on it they were too short. I usually use less expensive strings like D Adario XLs. ( I definatly prefer round wound)

I'll be specific. The B and E string where the winding starts to taper was actually sitting in the nut rather than the full sized wrap. I temporarily remedied this by removing the two strings and installing them on the bridge rather than through the body.

Could some one recomend a low cost round wound that will fit my 35" scale through body?

D'addario makes an extra long scale set.
I use DR long necks on my Lakland

Cool! Thanks! The local music store didnt have the answer to that question. And they certainly didn't stock the DAdario Xtra longs.
