From April to the killing frosts of autumn, my wife and I are busy in the fields of our organic farm cultivating, seeding, transplanting, and all else that encompasses the life of a farmer. We grow vegetables, herbs, turkeys, chickens, and harvest eggs from our laying hens...all for the local farmers market.

Like stated above, the 3 highest strings GBE tuned GBD Open G tuning.

I assume this is always a problem. www.juststrings.com will sell you 10 string of any gauge you want. They will also make custom sets for you. This may be a solution. Enjoy.
