7 + 1

This is the set back of playing an 8-string guitar- the hardship of finding a set of 8 per pack manifests itself every time the instrument is due for a re-string... I'm fortunate enough to find a .065 sold as an individual offering so it's a set of D'Addario 7 + a single .065... I am dutifully enduring this tribulation until Ibanez comes across my blog & sees that I am a big fan of their instruments & decides to reward me with a year's worth of 8-string packs- in my dreams.
