I've been using NYXL 0838 for a while on my 6 string, however on my 7 string I've been using 9-54, as I've never been able to find an 8 gauge string set for 7 string. However, this company called Optima carries them 8-50. BUT they are gold plated! I've never heard of that before. They are VERY expensive. About 27 euros for a set. I generally also struggle to find sets in 9-54 for my 7 string. Usually it's only "cheaper" sets like regular Ernie Balls that come in that gauge. The more expensive lines, such as D'addario XT line or NYXL line doesn't come in that gauge. However, now I've come across Optima, and I'm intrigued. Has anyone tried these strings? https://optima-strings.com/ https://optima-strings.com/shop/en/electric...-light-7-string https://optima-strings.com/shop/en/electric...-light-7-string This post has been edited by Caelumamittendum: Apr 18 2021, 09:59 PM |

... When 7 strings were new people bought a regular set and a single, also make a search it might still be possible to make a custom set like that. |

I found a site where I can get 2 sets of them for about 54 dollars + 8 dollars for shipping. A bit better price. Still gotta wait till next month though, but I'm gonna try them.

Holy smokes 54 bucks!? I can get 12 packs of Super Slinky's for less than that. 3 packs for 12 bucks at Guitar Center. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Ernie-Ball/222...36-1bd80e46974a |

I prefer the NYXL at about twice that though. They feel better to me and I feel more comfortable and confident using them. Whether a set at about 30 USD would feel better, time will tell |
