all you had to do was buy a set of mediums or lights, throw away the
low E, put the low A on for the E and work your way up. then we used
a 5 string banjo string for the high E. we called this "rigging" the
strings - James Burton was one of the first to do this I think
There was a set available with an unwound G - it was the Gretsch Chet
Atkins Rhythm n' Blues set - I pretty much used these on my Guild
