Strings for CGCF Tuning

[Shockwave]

I have used these in the past with great results. Specifically catered for Drop C from the factory. They also have a "lighter" Drop C set.

As far as I'm aware, we have no plans to discontinue Balanced Tension.

As for a 5 string set you'd need to pair EXL160BT with a .160 to achieve a BT 5 string set. As I'm sure you can imagine there are issues of practicality that arise from putting such a big string in a set! We sell most of our strings as singles, if you were wanting to try a .160 the item code is XLB160 or XLB160T for the tapered version.

Straight from the horse's mouth, as they say! I don't think it gets much better than that! A+++++

That is good to hear. The Balanced Tension strings are great. I may have to try an XLB160T sometime.
