Valuestrings EL-8 10-74 : They do what no one else can

The gauges on these strings have been taken from other (considerably more expensive) string manufacturers for the needs of 8 string guitars. However, the way I use them is discard (save) the first and last string and use the 13-64 as baritone gauges on a 6-string guitar. They are perfect since they have slightly more tension than other sets which are meant for baritone, meaning you will not have loose strings, therefore tuning issues. The other great advantage is this is the first affordable set that allows you to do this, meaning you can take this set to a luthier to set up your guitar and not worry too much if you end up discarding them. All I see with this set is win-win all around.
