okusman Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Looking to restring my Lakland 55-02. Gauge on there from new is 45/65/85/105/128. Yes I could source a set of Lakland Strings that would be exactly the same, but £52 + £19 postage from the US is nuts. Lots of searching and the exact gauge doesn’t seem to exist. Obviously realise that up to a 130 or down to a 125 on the B is not gonna change much. The stock B is tapered, which seems a good idea. Its a 35” scale and is currently strung thru the body- someone will tell me it matter limited difference! So. If you own a 55-02 what have you gone with to replace stock? Or you can give an objective perspective! Hit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Not a Lakland owner but would point you in the direction of Newtone strings who can wind bespoke gauges for you and also offer options such as steel or nickel, standard or fine outer windings and round or hexagonal cores. You should be able configure almost anything you like (except flat wound). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
