Love my LKSM 12 string, might be all time favorite out of an embarrassing number of guitars I've owned...boutiques, Custom Martins and Gibsons etc...

Kottke 12 is pretty much all I play now

Anyway....Elderly has a Custom Shop set of GHS Custom Phosphor Bronze Heavy Gauge 12 String Strings

"Designed for low tuning model on a brand we cannot name, and not endorsed by namesake of that model"

My LKSM lives in Open C#m (open Dm down a half step) and I mostly play slide, usually with a thick pick, and it is an expressive beast

Not coated strings but I'm pretty certain the gauges are right for how guitar was designed

When I bought the guitar it was in E to E tuning, probably with 10's and was borderline anemic, quiet, weak, no rumble

These strings and lower tuning make all the difference with this guitar

Strings by Mail also offers Elixer single strings, I would think you could put together a set like you want
