I get my fluorocarbon strings from Worth strings in Japan. If you want to buy bulk gauges you have to email them for prices as they don't have that info on the site. The gauges on my mandolin are E.47 A.66 D.91 (sizes in mm). G is a classical guitar A string.

This is the wiring design I use for a strat or for a single coil plus humbucker guitar.
It gives a total of 7 pickup configurations.

Here is a very good source of soundboard timber from Canada which includes photos of each piece.

I got neck problems from playing fiddle on stage for 30 years. I had to design a simple violin harness so that I can continue to play. It is easy to make and allows for a very relaxed technique.

Since doing this exercise on a regular basis for the last 10 years, I have ceased to have any lower back problems. I highly recommend this. Use books instead of a block.
