Description
Fender Original Bullet 3150LR strings are a pure nickel electric guitar set in gauges .009 to .046, crafted for players who want classic, warm tone with modern reliability. Designed with Fender’s distinctive Bullet ends, they are especially popular with Strat players who use a vibrato bridge, but they also suit a wide range of electric guitars and styles. The light top and regular bottom mix gives easy bends on the treble strings while keeping rhythm parts tight and full, making this an excellent choice for blues, classic rock, indie and soul. If you are moving up from a basic set, these deliver a clear step in sound, feel and tuning confidence.
Features
Pure nickel warmth
Wrapped in pure nickel, these strings deliver a smooth, rounded voice with sweet highs and a rich midrange. Compared to nickel plated steel, pure nickel gives a more vintage character that flatters clean tones and overdrive alike, ideal for blues, classic rock and roots styles.
Bullet end design
Fender’s Bullet ends seat cleanly in vibrato blocks and many modern bridges, promoting consistent contact, strong sustain and reliable return to pitch after vibrato use. The shaped end also helps reduce slippage at the bridge for steady performance.
Versatile 9-46 gauge
The light top, regular bottom spread balances easy bending with a firm low end. Lead lines feel supple and expressive, while chords and riffs on the wound strings stay solid and authoritative, suiting practice, studio and stage work.
Smooth feel and reduced finger noise
Pure nickel roundwound construction offers a comfortably smooth surface that feels great under the fingers and helps keep handling noise to a minimum, supporting articulate playing and confident technique development.
Made for everyday reliability
Designed by Fender to meet the demands of regular practice and performance, this set offers consistent intonation and stable tuning, giving you the dependable foundation you need whatever the session requires.
