F# Tuning Strings (can't find)

[Vovus]

Hellow to all.
I just can't find F# tuning strings for 8-String RG2228 Ibanez guitar and 6-String Ibanez RG7321 Bass anywhere in the internet shops. Who can help and probably throw the link?
Thanks beforehand

use a 7string set + bass string for the low F#

What gauge you looking for anyway?

yeah for guitar thats what the guys in meshuggah do- 7string set and a bass string bought separately

La bella makes some custome baritone sets. I'd do with 15-80 set(6 string) + something thinner bought separately, but IMHO for fine tuning to F# you need longer scale. I have custom 27" scale 7 string guitar and I tune it only to A using .70 gauge. 27" scale on RG2228 is the stupidest thing that Ibanez have ever made. Just look at Meshuggah guitars. They use 30" scale and that's reasonable.

Short scale bass string for the lowest not is your best bet.

Thanks very much
If someone can help, where can I find 30 scale guitar ?

 

[el-biczel]

only at custom shops, unfortunately.
