I picked up one of these last week for only 150 beans!
Any advice on strings I should use and tuning?
Thanks

It's one huge guitar!

What tuning do you want to use? There's a few companies making baritone string sets and then Bass VI sets if you want to go down to E standard.

Go for AAC#AAD or CFD#FA#F

and use these,

With an 80 - 85 from a set of bass strings if you can fit it through the hole in the machine head.


That's what I'd do.

Completely forgot I posted this here...
Thanks for the advice.
I've been using 13s, all I could get in the wesht, and tuned it B - B.
It sounds hefty as fuck, some craic too.
I think I'll look into specific baritone strings online. It is holding it's tuning really well though.
