Elixir strings on a Ken Smith BSRMS 6

Are you replacing the factory Ken Smith strings? I believe they all ship with his Custom Balanced Taper Core strings in Medium.

You could use any Elixir set. But I would use one with a Low-B that is Tapered for better fit in the bridge of the Ken Smith (The saddles are cut for tapered strings).

Elixir does not make a 6 string set, so you should look at getting a 4 string set and adding a High-C and Low-B.
