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 steel string guitars. They are a hand made, low tension, hex core string that are easy on the hands. I use the DR mandolin strings as well.

Planet waves dual action capo is simply the best guitar capo ever made. But these are the ones I cut to size for a variety of instruments.

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

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