I'm usually ordering sets of Dean Markley acoustic strings from stringsandbeyond, only to use the high E and B. I use djangobook's Argentine 1510MF for the GDAE. I just throw out the 4 lower strings from the Dean Markley sets, it feels a bit wasteful though. Does anyone know somewhere to buy single strings, like Michael offers for the Argentines? They don't have to be Dean Markley's in particular, just any plain old acoustic steel string will be fine for the E and B, as long as available in a gauge like 0.013/0.017 or even 0.012/0.016 will probably do.

They make large variety of sets, you're bound to find the gauge you need.
Here is a link to the John Pearse Acoustic Guitar Plain Steel Single Strings
from .09 to .026 for about a dollar each.

I tend to impulse buy other tools and trinkets when I buy from them though... caveat emptor.
juststring also does their own singles in bulk (12+) for about $0.30 per. They do loop end too if that's your thing.
