Any string company able to provide this kind of custom set?

[Benjo]

I've contacted john pearse kurt mangan newtone and labella and none of them can do it.


12-string silk and steel set

.13 .13
.17 .17
.25 .11
.33 .17
.46 .23
.56 .31


LA Bella has a 12-string silk and steel set that uses .12, .16, and .10 so I've been using their sets then swapping out the unwound trebles w .13, 17, and .11.

It would be nice not to have to do this though.And to get what I would like to get a custom set

You might try reaching out to GHS. They have done custom sets in the past and they have both silk and steel and silk and bronze sets. Worth a try anyway.
Stringjoy does custom sets but not sure if they offer silk and steel. Good luck!
Best,
Jayne

Hey thanks, will do

Those I know who've wanted to do similar have had to mix-and-match different sets to get what they're looking for.

Some of the on-line string re-sellers have entire sections of "user defined custom sets" that they label as such. You, or anyone else who likes that set can order the sets whenever they want. They assemble the sets from their stock of individual strings from various name brand suppliers.

Here's an example from "Strings By Mail"... Custom Classical Guitar String Sets

You could name the set "Benjo Custom silk & steels" if you want.

I don't use the service, but it should be quite easy to find which re-seller does these user-specified custom sets.

Great thank you very much Rudy

I think Stringjoy would be worth checking.
