Strings/Gauges for GDGCD on 35"

Hi,

New-ish guy here.

135's aren't cutting it for the low G, too floppy. I am usually tuned ADGCE, occasionally go down to the G.

A guy I know though stainless steel would help with lower tunings.

Looked at the Pyramid catalog posted in another thread but did not find quite what I was looking for.

Anybody done this? :help:

Thanks in advance for your help.

GDGCD <-> ADGCE ?
If you choose single strings for equal tensions in the theoretical average tuning of G#DGCD# this will minimise the tension imbalances in your 2 tunings. 30 pounds (extra light) is CKS recommended minimum. CKS are hex core roundwound nickelplated steel outer wrap over steel inner wraps.
