Creator: Augusto Roza
What instrument are they played on: This set is traditionally used on Ovation guitars (a variaty of models, the most reccomended ones being the Custom Legend 1867 and 1869), as well as on the "official" Baudoux Guitar Circle model (custom made in Argentina).
Creator Description: "Given the particularities of the CGDAEG tuning, where the lower strings are tuned lower than usual and the higher strings are tuned higher than usual, a custom set is needed to give the proper feel and the proper tension to each string. I've chosen .047 and .059 over .046 and .056/58 in order to avoid any sense of floppiness as much as possible, as well as to avoid having a greater difference of tension between both sides of the neck."
