custom made strings / really long guitar strings ?
ive dug around the net for awhile but cant come to any solid conclusions
any recommendations for custom made strings, specifically really long ones ?
28.5 inch longscale guitar. 6 strings. with tremolo
the high E and B are the trickiest cause the tuners are furthest down the headstock.
I'm thinking the high E would need to be 44 maybe 45 inches long

I think Curt Mangan would do this.

Kalium strings should work.

I’m a big fan of these guys (in fact i was recently singing their praises in another thread)
You can specify the length (up to a maximum of 49”), thickness, and materials:

I'd never heard of them. UK based so definitely a plus for me! Kalium often is more spent on the postage and a two yearly experience for my VI.JVG wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 4:09 amI’m a big fan of these guys (in fact i was recently singing their praises in another thread)

No flatwound option?

I can’t remember how i found out about Newtone. It may have been from reading another forum.jorri wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 6:57 amI'd never heard of them. UK based so definitely a plus for me!

They are a small operation - in “normal” times i think there are 3 or 4 people working there, but during covid it’s literally down to one person. As far as i know, they don’t keep much stock on hand, so most stuff is made to order. Therefore it’s a bit slower than other options, but in my view well worth it.
I’ve been using Newtown round core strings for a year or two - for guitars and my VI replica - and have found them to be excellent. Plus they are very pleasant to deal with if you have queries.

Sadly, no. That would be the icing on the cake!
