Detail 01
Medium gauge
More tension than lights. Slightly stiffer bends, fuller low end, and less fret buzz with a heavy pick attack.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Medium-gauge nickel-plated electric guitar strings at a low price. A straightforward replacement set for standard tuning.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restringing an electric guitar kept in standard tuning
- Buying several sets at once for regular string changes
- Players already on medium gauge who want no setup changes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Acoustic guitars — nickel-plated strings need magnetic pickups to sound right
- Players who prefer light gauge for easier bending
- Down-tuned setups that need heavier strings for tension
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
Nickel plating over steel gives a warmer top end than pure steel and reads normally on magnetic pickups.
Detail 03
Electric guitar set
Wound with steel cores so pickups can read them. On an acoustic they will sound thin and quiet.
Detail 04
$7.99
Low enough to change strings often, which matters more for tone than any single set does.
Detail 05
Medium-Tite designation
A middle option in the Tite-Fit line, between lighter and extra-heavy sets in the same family.
Final check
Know before you order

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?
No. These are nickel-plated electric strings. Acoustics need bronze or phosphor bronze wound strings to project properly unamplified.
02Will medium gauge hurt my fingers more than lights?
Slightly. Higher tension means more effort to fret and bend. Most players adjust within a few sessions.
03Do these work with any electric guitar?
Yes, for standard-scale six-string electrics. Check your bridge accepts ball-end strings, which nearly all do.
04How often should I change them?
Depends on play time and hand chemistry. Heavy players change monthly; occasional players get several months per set.
