A big firm offers to put out a custom gauge string set
with your name on it. :D
What would it be string by string? And what bonus article would you include?

011-013-018wound-024-036-044.
Bonus item, Flinstone vitamin.

The "little something" would be an Oscar Meyer Weiner Whistle.

.007,.009,.012,.022,.030,.038 This would be my ideal set but I have 3 sets of Rev. Willie strings on order and they are .007 to .030 I am wondering if the wound strings are maybe a bit too thin.Thin strings aren't necessarily thin sounding but I was wondering if the wound strings would feel uncomfortably light for the heavy,percussive Pete Townshend like right hand strumming/bashing style I have.
