This is a special set of strings designed specifically for use on 6 string lap steel guitars Intended for tuning to CEGACE, for that distinctive Nashville sound. This set can also be used for Hawaiian style playing This set is a mix of plain steel (unwound) and Nickel wound strings intended for use with magnetic (electric guitar style) pickups. This is the same set we include with our 2x4 Lap Steel Kit. 1 .034 Nickel Wound (Low E) 2 .030 Nickel Wound (Low A) 3 .024 Nickel Wound (Middle D) 4 .020 Nickel Wound (Middle G) 5 .017 Plain Steel (Middle B) 6 .014 Plain Steel (High E) For best results with reaching the desired tuning, these should be used on a lap steel that has a scale length (the length from the nut to the bridge) of around 23 . Much longer or shorter than that and the strings will either be too loose and sloppy, or so tight that they break before they reach the pitch.
