I second that recommendation from Tim, when I brought my CR 6 to Ken to repair the neck it had been recently strung up with DR Stainless Steel medium Low-Rider strings.

Ken repaired the Axe and equipped it with a set of tapered core strings, and from that day on I have been grooving like there's no tomorrow.
