You may find the .000 too thin, but it should solve the breakage problem.

I probably should have said guage strings instead of .000 . My stupid error --sorry. Texas Jack Baker

I like the gauges in this Tommy White Signature E9th set.

I use the Tommy White gauges, but use a .038 instead of a .036 on the 10th string, gives you a fuller bottom, especially when ending a song with 6-8-10 pedals down, au
