Where do you buy these from? I have this urge/obession to play piano part to Stockholm Syndrome (Muse) But I'm running out of frets, I thought maybe buying a 6-string set but I don't think the High C would still give me enough room.

Don't most of the bigger string manufacturers offer custom sets?

My answer would be to look on musiciansfriend

This is the only thing I could come up with, anyone know how regular D'addario's play? I only use Exilers.

D'Addarios play pretty nice, I have only used the Nickel strings and found them to be a bit too "mellow"for my tastes.

You could try their "Prism" range, they are supposed to be very bright.

Solution:
Buy a 7, 8 or 9 string, yeah thats the life.
