I've recently been trying different custom made 'sets' by buying individual
strings and replacing with different gauges.

I'm still kinda experimenting with different string gauges, so far I have it narrowed down to 9's or 10's and I cant decide!

I use D'Addario 8-38s and have for over 30 years.I do a lot of heavy bending often bending from an A to a D and since I have small hands I need a very light gauge.D'Addarios also stay in tune and sound new longer than most.
