What brand of strings are these?

Mark Herrick · From: Bakersfield, CA

I just removed the strings from my Emmons p/p to replace the tuning keys. The strings from the C6 neck are gauged:

.016
.014
.018
.022
.024
.030
.038
.042
.056
.070

I think they may be Lashley Extra Lively's but the Emmons website doesn't list the gauges of their string sets. I haven't been able to match them up to any other brand of strings.

If I replace them with these gauges:

.017
.014
.018
.022
.024
.030
.036
.042
.054
.068

from a SIT Buddy Emmons C6 set, am I going to have tuning problems? (I don't really play C6 now anyway.)

Mark,
My Lashley Extra Lively strings are:
0.011 (G)
0.014
0.018
0.022
0.024 wound
0.030
0.036
0.042
0.054
0.068
Although my first is actually replaced with a 0.016 (Cass)for a D rather than a G.

I've always used the C6th sets that have the .068 for #10. The second set of strings listed here is what I like to use except I use an .011 on string #1 - G. I believe I read a string listing on the GHS's that had a .070 and a Sho-Bud listing that showed a .070. Frency's Steel Mill strings is what I use on my C6th & E9th. Of course, I had good luck with George L's for years. Everybody's different. Just my .02 worth.
