Strings and Accessories

Elderly Instruments charge about $10 to send a package to Australia, so they are my first choice for strings and accessories.

Here are some products that I source from them:

GHS True medium strings are the best stock strings for open D tuning on slide guitar.
They also do a cryogenic set. True mediums are also suitable for DADGAD players.

DR rare strings are what I fit on my standard guitars. They are a hand made low tension string that are a perfect match for a sensitive carbon braced guitar. I use the DR mandolin strings as well.

Planet waves dual action capo is simply the best capo ever made.

Dunlop lap dawg is my favorite slide. It is very easy to grip.

The Beard slide capo is a good well priced option for capoing my slide guitars.
