Stingray string lengths

[malcolm.mcintyre]

Now that we can expect a rash of Stingray Classics with through-body stringing, I hope we might see increased availability of stings which fit.
I have always ( well since 1980) used a pre-Ernie Stingray, but finding the right length stings has been difficult.
For example Rotosound longs are too short (unless you trim the silk), but extra-longs are too long.
I have been using d'Addario XLR extra-longs, which fit fine, but they have discontinued may favoured 45-105s, so I have had to move to lighter 45-100s.
Lets hope Ernie's new Classics sell enough for the string manufactures to get interested.

Ernie Ball Slinkies on my string through body 30th Ray - no problem.

I just put some Elites on my EB and there was plenty to go thru body if required

Does anyone know if any elixris or DR will be ok?
