Hot or Not? Too many for you to deal with...

That sucks! Are there no other companies that offer strjngs you need?

Ironically I dont actually have any use for an 8-string at the moment, even though I mainly play extreme doom. I actually prefer to downtune a regular 6-string to the point that it's almost unplayable rubber-band slack. Just gives that extra je-ne-sais-quoi perfect for ultra-deep doom riffs

The only other company is Rotosound - they've started making their British Steels again (which are made out of steel [no nickel, no stainless steel]), but they offer them only in 6-string sets.

There are coated strings by companies like Elixir and D'Addario, but not all coated strings are coated around the entire surface of the string, and it would be my luck, that enough of the coating would peel off during use, that I would touch the nickel string underneath, and wind up with dermatitis again.

Remove 5 strings and play Seasick Steve material on it. That or tune it to a 13 and play western swing on it with a slide like a lap steel.
