Assuming you used the three smallest strings, build another instrument with a larger box and a pickup and use them in that one!

But generally I buy singleton strings in the sizes I want.

I've done just what Diane suggested, but without a pickup. Just use what you got and tune it till it sounds good. I like the unwound strings better than the wound for my unplugged cbg, is that common?

One solution is that most guitar stores sell individual strings. If you really get into bulk building, www.juststrings.com is a great resource for strings at reasonable prices. They will make any custom set as long as you purchase10 packs. Enjoy.

The small strings sound really twangy on mine tuned to open E, just make more guitars.

I have a couple more designs that I'll be making, I'm hoping soon to complete my first two and have their pictures posted on here
