Detail 01
Super Light gauge
Lowest tension in the lineup. Easy to bend and fret, but less resistant to hard picking and low tunings.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Super Light gauge 7-string electric guitar set. Cheapest way to restring a seven, best suited to players staying near standard tuning.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restringing a 7-string in standard B tuning
- Players who want minimal finger pressure and easy bends
- Keeping spare sets on hand for gigs and sessions
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drop A or lower — super light will go slack and buzz
- 6-string guitars, which don't need the extra low string
- Players wanting a stiff, high-tension feel under heavy 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 string. Won't work in reverse — you can't stretch a 6-string set to cover seven.
Detail 03
Low B string in a light set
The seventh string is the hardest to keep tight. Light gauge here means the most noticeable floppiness of the set.
Detail 04
Electric guitar strings
Magnetic steel core. Fine for any 7-string with standard magnetic pickups, passive or active.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Your nut slots and bridge saddles must already be cut for 7 strings
- 02Switching from heavier strings usually needs a truss rod adjustment
- 03Single set — no tools, winder, or spare strings included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these for drop tuning?
Not well below standard B. Super Light loses tension fast when you tune down, causing buzz and pitch instability. A heavier gauge holds up better for drop tunings.
02What tuning are these designed for?
Standard 7-string tuning — B E A D G B E. They'll work at that pitch on a standard-scale seven.
03Will these fit a baritone or extended-scale 7-string?
Longer scale lengths raise tension, which helps, but the string length itself has to reach. Check your scale length and string-through setup before ordering.
04Are super light strings harder to keep in tune?
Lower tension means pitch moves more with picking force and bending. If you dig in hard, a heavier gauge will stay truer.
