								We make each gauge of wound and 
								some plain strings in several degrees of 
								stiffness or "tension".
								
								 For instance, an .026 can 
								be loose, somewhat stiff, more stiff,  or very 
								stiff. 
								
								We use the following letters to 
								indicate the degree of stiffness, or how 
								flexible the string feels when playing it:
							
							.026R 
							+ rubber band like (for touch instruments)

							.026 
							= flexible

							.026H 
							= indicated "Heavy" and is a bit less flexible

							.026S 
							= indicates "super core" and is stiff
.026U 
							= ultra core and is very stiffRound core guitar sets available!

								The actual "pull tension" or LBF 
								on the strings tuned to pitch varies slightly. 
								The amount of flexibility is determined 
								
								by moving the string from side to 
								side while it is tuned to pitch. If you want 
								your string(s) to feel like a "Cheese Slicer" 
								wire,
								
								you would select "U"/ Ultra Core.

We make everything to order

Custom String Development and Testing

Before purchasing one of these options,
you will need to purchase the appropriate string or string set .

A) For 1 string $25.00
B) For 1-3 strings $75.00
C) For 1 string set $100.00 D) For 1 string set $150.00

The above Custom String Development options are only for developing custom strings and do not include the price of the strings

So, what this does not pay for is the actual string set. Once we get the test set right, then you must send it back and we will make a new custom set.

When ordering, include the scale length of your guitar and indicate if it has a back-loading bridge

with a string tree on the headstock or if it has a top loading bridge.

Even if you have given us your custom string specifications in an email, the strings will not be made unless all of the order specifications are on this form. This includes custom gauges and the intended tuning of the string or string set.
