String help
i need some serious help with finding strings for my guitar. i have a stringthrough that takes my scale from 27" fretboard to 34" inches from string ports to machine heads. i really prefer a 0.70 gauge on the low seventh. if anyone has any advice, please, help!

Yikes, that's a long scale for a guitar string - you might need to go with bass strings for your lowest couple.
Try JustStrings.com - Strings for guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and other musical instruments, however. If it's made, they probably have it.

Maybe try some baritone strings? I think they're longer. I could be wrong, though. Locking tuners might help, too, if the strings reach the tuning pegs but don't have enough length for the wraparounds. Failing those options, you might have to use some bass strings like Drew said.
