Shane Speal's 6-string Cigar Box Guitar String Set

Description: Shane says: "When Southbound Strings asked me to develop a set of professional electric guitar strings for cigar box guitar, I demanded three things:The strings must include a ‘wound G’ string (essential for grinding slide guitar).They must withstand my brutal punishment for several 3-hour gigs.The price must still be low. He sent me 10 packs of “test strings” back in October, right before I had a two week tour. The idea was to string up every one of my concert instruments (seven cigar box guitars in all) and see how long they would last before the strings broke. (I had been using a popular brand of strings and would usually break 1 to 2 strings a night.) I went SIX shows before one of these Southbound Strings broke! That’s 18 hours of brutal punishment on the cigar box guitars, including throwing the instruments across the stage at the end of the concert. The string’s tones were crisp, clean and LOUD! Needless to say, they passed the test with flying colors. I stand by these strings for electric cigar box guitar and any slide guitar. They’re essential to my sound now." #1 - .052" Nickel Wound (Low E) #2 - .042" Nickel Wound (Low A) #3 - .032" Nickel Wound (Middle D) #4 - .024" Nickel Wound (Middle G) #5 - .016" Plain Steel (Middle B) #6 - .012" Plain Steel (High E) For best results with reaching the desired tuning, these should be used on a CBG that has a scale length (the length from the nut to the bridge) in the 23-27" range. 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. This string set is formulated based on Shane's many years of experimentation and what has worked on his guitars. These are quality American-made strings that we have used on our own CBGs (and other store-bought instruments) for years, not cheap Chinese knock-offs, so buy with confidence! INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE READ... We ship packages via the U. S. Postal Service, either First Class Mail International or Priority Mail International. While these services generally get packages anywhere in the world in 1 to 2 weeks, sometimes it can take longer - this is almost always because the Customs Office in your country delays the package. In some cases it has taken up to 4 weeks for a package to be delivered. We will not consider an item as "lost" until at least 30 days have passed from the time of shipment. Also, you may be responsible for local customs duties and taxes depending on your country's laws. We mark package values honestly, as required by the laws of the United States, so please don't ask us to declare a false value, or declare a package as a gift. If you are an international buyer, please be aware of these realities BEFORE buying. Recycled Materials... We use recycled cardboard as packaging materials whenever possible. Those of you who care about the environment can appreciate the value of this, and everyone can appreciate the fact that it helps keep our prices lower since we don't have to buy new cardboard for packaging. This may mean that our packaging materials occasionally show some shipping scuffs, labels, printing or other markings, but used cardboard does the job just fine. Hopefully you will find a way to recycle it on your end too! Best Value vs. Cheapest Price... Whenever possible, we try to make sure we have the best price on eBay for the products we offer. In the rare cases when another seller beats our price by a few pennies, we stand by my claim that our offer is the best VALUE on eBay. We are always available by e-mail to answer questions as best we can for anyone who buys products from us and needs advice. We certainly cannot answer every question authoritatively, but at the very least we can recommend where to go for more information. With C. B.
