I used to mix and match guitar strings for my lap, but then I said what the hell and bought some Lap Steel strings, and it made a big difference in tone and dynamics. Do yourself a favor and get some lap steel strings. They are like a semi-flatwound, and quite chimey and bell like, where guitar strings tend to sound thin and weak, in a bad way, comparatively.
