Features
Super light 09-42 playability
The 09-42 gauge offers a low-tension, slinky feel that encourages expressive bends, agile slides and fast fretting. Ideal for lead work and comfortable practice sessions, this set helps reduce finger fatigue while keeping riffs and chords articulate and controlled.
Nickel wound on hex core
Nickel-plated steel wrap wire on a hexagonal steel core produces a bright, focused tone with clear mids and crisp attack. The classic roundwound construction balances bite and warmth, delivering the familiar sound many players expect from modern electric guitar strings.
Consistent tuning and intonation
Precision winding and tight tolerances provide reliable tuning stability and accurate intonation all the way up the neck. Each string seats cleanly at the nut and bridge, helping your guitar stay in tune through practice, rehearsal and live sets.
Colour-coded ball ends
Each string features a colour-coded ball end for quick identification during restringing. This simple detail speeds up string changes, reduces mistakes and keeps your setup routine clear and efficient at home, in lessons or backstage.
