Hi Don..
You use 16-56 gauge strings.
Martin sells them as "Bluegrass" stings.
They are nickle plated.
Musician's Friend sells them..or ebay merchants.

Yes, an ignorant question... What are the best brands and sets for Reso strings? I've heard you can use regular medium gauge strings, but that there are sets available pre-made for squarenecks...???? Thanks in advance... |

Rob Ickes uses D'Addario EJ42s (or did a couple of years ago when I asked him). |

I have used D'Addario Flat Tops EFT13 Resophonic Guitar Strings for 8 yrs . Ive tried them all ,..they have great tone and last. I think they are hands down some of the best Dobro guitar srings out there. |

Sounds like I'll have to order some online. Up here in Rhode Island, there aren't exactly a ton of Dobro players around so nobody stocks strings for them. What a joke it is here. It's almost as bad trying to find ukelele strings. A few places carry the standard Martin set, but that's it. |
