Where can I get .07 gauge strings?


I need a 7 gauge string for one of my guitars so that I can get a high A. An 8 will only go to G, so do guys know of anywhere that sells a string this light? Thanks

D'addario sell single strings that go up to gauge 7 and down to gauge 60 so I guess there would be a good place to look. Also I heard people use banjo strings to get really light gauges!

You can also find them in a spool at your local fabric and crafts store

I've become quite addicted to using a set of .009s only with replacing the .009 with a .007 for standard tuning.
And I haven't quite been able to get the .007 up to A. It'll go just past G# and then snap. That's on a 25 1/2" scale though.

He-men use 11s or 13s (yeah, that's the high E) and Gibson guitars.

I use .011s on a 25.5" scale guitar. Gibsons? Pfft. Short scale lengths are for wusses.
