Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two sets of nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings in the .009–.042 Super Light gauge. OPTIWEB coating is designed to retain a natural, familiar feel while allowing the strings to vibrate with less damping. Its firm grip puts bends, vibrato and sustain under your control. Elixir coats the entire string, including the spaces between windings where buildup can collect, while Anti-Rust Plating protects the plain steel strings for extended tone life across the set.
