I've been using WebStrings Light-Heavy 10-52 strings for the last several years. There may be better strings. There may not be. I don't know. These work for me. I tend to change them FREQUENTLY.

This guitar, like most of mine, has Glendale Wide-Intone Twang saddles. The E-A saddle has a slightly higher angle to compensate for the increased thickness of the E-A strings on the heavy end of the light-heavy combination.

By golly, here's the finished thing with a matching strap.

A closer view of the front.

and the back

Doug does fine work and is a great guy to work with.
