Detail 01
Lite gauge
Lower tension across the set. Bends and vibrato take less hand strength, but the strings buzz more if you dig in.

1/9
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 7-string electric set with a light top and an added low B, nickel-wound. For 7-string players who want easy bends up top.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 7-string players who bend a lot and want light top strings
- Standard B tuning on a 25.5" scale guitar
- Players restringing a stock 7-string without changing setup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drop or low-tuned players — the low B goes slack
- 6-string guitars — you pay for a string you won't use
- Players who want heavy tension for aggressive picking
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
7-string set
Includes the extra low B alongside the standard six, so you don't need to buy a single separately.
Detail 03
XL nickel wound
Nickel-plated steel on a hex core. Bright but not harsh, and magnetic enough for standard humbuckers and single-coils.
Detail 04
Low B string
The thickest string in the set. Its gauge decides whether B stays tight or flops on your scale length.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your bridge and nut slots fit the low B gauge
- 02Going lighter from your current set may need truss rod and intonation tweaks
- 03One set only — no picks, winder, or spares included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these work in drop A?
The low string is gauged for standard B. Dropping it a further whole step makes it slack and hard to intonate. Look at a heavier 7-string set for drop tunings.
02Do I need to adjust my guitar after switching?
If you're coming from a heavier set, yes. Less string tension pulls less on the neck, so check relief and intonation after they settle.
03Are these coated?
No. These are plain nickel wound strings, so expect a normal lifespan and wipe them down after playing.
04Will they fit a 27" baritone-scale 7-string?
They'll fit, but the longer scale raises tension on every string. Some players like that; others find the low B stiffer than they want.
