Does anyone know what (brand and gauges) Ron and Warren ship the new banjos with? It's time for some new ones and I'm not sure what I want to buy for my mahogany RS. Thanks in advance, guys!

All loop end. I order them from juststrings.com in bulk. They come in straight tubes. It works great for a shop but not convenient for a road trip. Anything close or other brands should be fine." I personally use the GHS J.D. Crowe Stage set on my Yates mahagany RS and really like them. Enjoy that banjo!
