This may save you a trip back to the music store.
My local music store stocks whatever steel guitar strings I tell them to stock. So, on my suggestion, they were carrying the S.I.T. Buddy Emmons signature series but their last shipment from S.I.T. wasn't any particular series just plain ol' S.I.T. Pedal Steel guitar strings. Since the package 'claimed' that the gauges were the same as the Buddy Emmons signature series I took an E9th set home without much thought and proceded to change strings on my EMCI. Half way through the neck the #6 string comes out of the package as 020 wound instead of the 022 plain that was listed on the package. So... I robbed a 022p from another set and finished the job. I went back to the store and relayed the situation to the owner. We started looking through the rest of the S.I.T. shipment and found 2 more packages of strings that had 020 wound strings instead the 022p listed on the package. I guess I will start checking the gauges before I leave the store from now on.
