I broke my ankle in an accident at home 2 nights ago.

While I'm out of commission for about 6 weeks I figure I could play around with the "Sneaky Pete" B6th tuning.
I'll set up some pulls from his copedent and play them with my right foot.

Any advice on string gauges for this would be appreciated.

Who knows, I might learn something new and bold.

Thanks
Colby

I have just renewed my lomg time S.I.T. string dealership and am now selling this particular set of strings as the "West Coast Rock" set. If you're interested in a source for these strings at a great price, just email me. Non Forum members can contact me at my website www.MikeHeadrick.com

Do those just come in 8 string packages or do you sell 10 string packs as well?

That particular set is for an 8 string B6th tuning.

I also have the Buddy Emmons set for 10 string E9.

Mike - are you selling nickel wrap or stainless?

Good call on the gages!

Mike,
Thanks for the info.
I kind of figured they would be something like that.
