CleartoneNickel-Plated Super Light Electric Guitar Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Nickel-plated super light electric strings with a coated build. For players who want low string tension and long life between changes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bending-heavy lead playing where light tension helps
- Players who sweat through uncoated strings in a week
- Standard tuning on a short or standard scale electric
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drop tunings — super light gauges go floppy below standard
- Players who want maximum output and thick low end
- Anyone who prefers the raw grip of uncoated strings
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Nickel-plated wrap
Warmer and smoother than stainless. The common electric string voicing most amps are set up around.
Detail 03
Coated (Cleartone's treatment)
Slows oxidation from sweat and skin oils, so tone stays bright longer than a plain string.
Detail 04
Electric-specific construction
Steel core reads properly on magnetic pickups. Will not work on a nylon-string classical.
Detail 05
One set, one guitar
A single pack strings a six-string electric once. Buy multiples if you change often or break strings.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Going lighter than your current gauge usually needs a truss rod and intonation check
- 02Set includes strings only — no winder, cutters or picks
- 03Lighter tension can raise action buzz if your setup was dialed for heavier strings
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my guitar?
Any standard six-string electric with a fixed bridge, tremolo or locking system. Floating tremolos need a spring adjustment when changing gauge.
02How long do coated strings last?
The coating slows corrosion from sweat and oils, so they hold brightness noticeably longer than uncoated sets. Actual life depends on how much you play and how acidic your hands are.
03Can I use these on an acoustic?
No. These are built for magnetic pickups and will sound thin and quiet on an acoustic. Use phosphor bronze acoustic strings instead.
04Do coated strings feel different?
Slightly slicker under the fingers, with less finger squeak when sliding. Some players like it, some miss the grip of a bare string.
