ok, this is probably out there somewhere but . since i started building these things i've been using d'addario strings, mainly because a set was left at our house after a party,and they sounded great. anyhoo i now have a bunch of 1st 2nd n 6th strings left over. i happen to like the strings i ve been using but cost is an issue so i bought 6 sets on line for about £2.20 a set but they are nowhere near as comfy to play and don't sound too good how do you buy yours?in sets or singly.i hate waste

I've bought Ernie Ball Slinkys almost exclusively due to their robust performance and longevity, x3 packs of six worked out the cheapest though i didn't use all the strings and ended up with a collection of spare 42's and 9's.
I found a seller who sells individual Custom gauge strings in packs of six or singly, i arrived at the following string gauges for my setup (25.5" scale, GDGb)...
32 - 24 - 16 - 13
