    EB strings for Lap Steel?

    Does anyone know or recommend a set of EB strings that would be suitable for a lap steel?
    I've got these 2 that I built. the First one is 22.5 scale and the second is 25"
    I've been using the Not Even Slinkys but they are not quite right.
    If I bought individual strings, what would be the optimum gauge for open E and G tunings in those scale lengths?
    Thanks

    If my knowledge serves me right .. Open E would require some heavy strings ..
    You can try more of our string sets (perhaps our nickel 13-56g) .. but going with individuals might be best. I have a friend who uses the following for open E:
    .015
    .020
    .024w
    .030
    .038
    .054

    Hopefully this might be of some help!

    Thanks Jodizzle, it is much appreciated
    I'll head down to my local GC and see if they have those. If not I'll see what they have for singles.
