ok, this is probably out there somewhere but . since i started building these things i've been using d'addario strings, mainly because a set was left at our house after a party,and they sounded great. anyhoo i now have a bunch of 1st 2nd n 6th strings left over. i happen to like the strings i ve been using but cost is an issue so i bought 6 sets on line for about £2.20 a set but they are nowhere near as comfy to play and don't sound too good how do you buy yours?in sets or singly.i hate waste

As ah don't build, jabes, ah just split sets. D'Addario ma favourite too BTW.
BUT: as you all BUILD, the why not build the STRINGS!! Noo, before aw the wee cats start hidin, and James comes tae ma door wi a baseball bat (LOL), what ah'm suggestin is bits of fluff, threads from T shirts etc. A wee bit of weavin by the ladies, and ye are laughin. How about it? BTW ah'm gonna copyright thatidea, so hands aff ;)
Hee hee ;)
i wasn't aware you could buy singles ...o.k i went too cheap i think on the sets ,anyway i like to set the guit up to find the position of the bridge . a bit tricky when using the rod piezos in a bridge- you don't wannabe drilling more holes than ness.......good health.

thanks for your replies, i've had a look at strings direct,they look the biz , thanks again
it has just occured to me that with a piezo powered guit i don't need to use electric guitar strings ....DOH!
I've bought Ernie Ball Slinkys almost exclusively due to their robust performance and longevity, x3 packs of six worked out the cheapest though i didn't use all the strings and ended up with a collection of spare 42's and 9's.
I found a seller who sells individual Custom gauge strings in packs of six or singly, i arrived at the following string gauges for my setup (25.5" scale, GDGb)...
32 - 24 - 16 - 13
