Only the first two, high E and B are tuned in unison.

He complained a little about string spacing, so I wanted to see how they are spaced at the nut. That has been discussed at length here, you can optimize the string spacing at the nut to suit your playing.

about the g String, I was just worried that a .10 string could be stretched to a g without breaking....octave Frank? Lol Steverok....I haven't had the time to try to post a picture but... how would you optimize the string spacing at the nut?

See my previous thread "360/12 string spacing", dating back to 4/26/05.

You can use a .010 for the G Octave. THe Rickenbacker stock set does.

Don't know why anyone would worry that a .010 E could be tuned up to a G; consider that if you are stringing a 6 string w/ .010s, if you are doing full blown blues note bending way up the neck, you can choke an .010 Past G without breaking it. So why would simply tuning it up to G be any different?
