Detail 01

Less finger pressure to fret and bend, at the cost of some tension and low-end firmness in dropped tunings.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Light-gauge colored electric guitar set from DR. Cheap way to put green strings on a guitar without changing how it plays much.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want stage-visible strings on an electric
- Benders and lead players who prefer easy string tension
- Cheap experiment before committing to a color set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drop tunings, where light gauge goes slack
- Acoustic or bass guitars — this is an electric set
- Heavy strummers who want stiffer, louder attack
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
Green colored strings
Color is on the strings themselves, so the look changes without touching the guitar's finish or hardware.
Detail 03
6-string electric set
Sized and wound for magnetic pickups. Nothing here works on a bass or a nylon-string.
Detail 04
$12.99 per set
About what a standard uncolored set costs, so the color is not a meaningful price penalty.
Detail 05
Roundwound construction
Bright attack with audible squeak on position shifts, which is normal for electric sets.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Strings only — no tools, winder, or cutters included
- 02Expect tuning drift for the first day while the strings settle
- 03Tremolo bridges may need spring adjustment if switching from heavier gauge
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these on an acoustic guitar?
They are built for electric guitar. They will physically fit an acoustic but the winding and core are not designed to drive an acoustic top.
02Will light gauge work for drop tuning?
Down a half or whole step is workable. Anything lower gets floppy and buzzy. Move to a heavier gauge for drop tunings.
03Do colored strings sound different?
Treat them as a normal light-gauge electric set for tone purposes. The visible difference is the reason to buy them.
04How long does the color last?
It wears at the fret contact points with play. How fast depends on how much you play and how hard you fret.
