High-Quality Materials
We craft the 1046 Steel Guitar Strings with a specially-tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel. Our expert string winders use this carbon steel for the plain strings as well as the hex cores. Additionally, the wrap wire is 8% nickel-plated steel (NPS).
Variety of Gauge Choices
The Steel Electric Guitar Strings are offered in over 10 different gauge choices. Specifically this includes a range from our lightest gauge (.008-.038) up to the “Heavy 11s” (.011-.050). You can order them in single sets, 3-packs, or as part of a Mix and Match Multi-Pack.
