Just broke my 4th, probably need to replace the 3rd also. Anybody know what the standard string gauges are for the carpsteel? I don't really want to mess around with any adjustments if I restring. I realize I'll need to make some adjustments to the nylon hex tuners and such...

I've not heard back from anybody at Rains just yet, figured a few of you guys might know!
