So in case you do not like the Elixir 8string set, you could also add any other set of 6string baritone strings and add single 0.012 and 0.014 as octaves from the brand of your choice.

Thomann has them for EUR 19,50: https://www.thomann.de/de/elixir_nanoweb_baritone_8_string.htm...the Elixir Baritone 8string set (here in Germany over 30€; i.e. 36 $)
I own the Alvarez 6 string Baritone and I really like it for finger style playing but its not good for strumming. I plan on getting the 8 string Guild Baritone for strumming and plan on keeping both.I own the Alvarez 6 string Baritone. It is a good guitar for what it is.
I am very interested in the new Guild 8 string Baritone though.
May be selling the Alvarez soon.
I've actually been doing that for years on a lesser scale by always subbing an .025 G string into D'Addario's Ej-16 set, to replicate the actual gauges in Guild's L-350 lights my dreads came with. Those were D'A, too, and they still offer the appropriate PB025 single so the alloy matches too.Needing to build a custom set each time you change strings would take some of the fun out of the guitar.
