Circle K's will work well with the F.... man if I had a 7 stringer I'd be going F#-C though

 

Circle K Strings - 7 String Sets - all Tensions and Scales

I love them on my 7

 

To go with your Fodera 6 string set, a bood match would be a DR Hi-Beam .025. It has the most similar design to the Fodera string... Round Core Stainless Steel. Dean Markley also has a .025 Super Round Stainless Steel single.

 

That will be shipping out on Monday!

Thanks again!!!

 

Another vote for Circle K... but I will confess I really liked having a SR2000 .022" F on my Benavente 7.

 

For me the problem with 7 string sets is finding one with a decent high F that's wound. I hate the feel of plain strings. The only other good set found is from Ken Smith. And you have to ask for a wound F otherwise you'll get a 20p.

 

The best thing to do really is get 6 string sets and add the F of your choice as a single.

Really many multi string sets aren't a ideal as a four string set with added strings.

 

That's interesting to know, man. I would think sets would be better.

 

I just did

 

In some cases... but there are a lot of times I prefer a heavier B string than what comes with the standard 5 string sets, or lighter...

It depends on the brand and string type though...

 

Remember when putting together "custom sets" to see if there are prepackaged sets that contain the strings you are looking for.

Check your PM for the changes I made for you

 

Thanks
