Why single strings?
Review by Fred N. on 24 May 2026 review stating Why single strings? Currently, my two favorite strings sets are made by LaBella and GHS. In order to maintain a balance between these two sets, I need to "adjust" a couple of the GHS string gauges. My old favorite "D'Angelico by D'Merle" sets were 13, 17, 26, 36, 46, and 58. The GHS "Boomers" are nickel-round wound strings and come in 13, 17, 26, 36, 44, and 56. When I want to restring with GHS "Boomers", I need 13, 17, 26, 36, 46, and 58. That requires ordering a couple of extra strings, so - why not just order a special set of singles in my desired gauges? BTW, I also order a special LaBella 58 to replace their stock 56 sixth-string E. I'm glad that there are a few companies that still offer single strings which allow putting sets together that meet the needs of discriminating guitarists - such as myself! Thank you, SBM for carrying several string brands in single-string options!
