Detail 01
Baritone set
Gauges are stepped up so low tunings on a long scale still hold pitch and feel firm under the pick.

Ernie Ball2839 Baritone Electric Guitar String Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A baritone-scale electric string set from Ernie Ball. For players with a baritone guitar who need the right tension, not a standard set stretched down.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Baritone electric guitars tuned B-to-B or A-to-A
- Replacing a factory set on a long-scale baritone
- Keeping spare sets on hand for a drop-tuned rig
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard 24.75" or 25.5" scale electrics — too heavy
- Acoustic or classical guitars
- Players wanting a specific gauge choice; this is one fixed set
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
Electric, not acoustic
Wound with a magnetic-friendly alloy for pickups. It will sound thin and quiet on an acoustic.
Detail 03
Single set
One guitar's worth of strings. Buy multiples if you want a spare or you break strings often.
Detail 04
Under $11
Cheap enough to change often, which matters more for tone than any string brand choice.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Heavier strings usually mean a truss rod and intonation check after fitting
- 02Nut slots may need filing if the guitar came with lighter strings
- 03Confirm your bridge and tuner posts take the thicker low string
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a regular electric guitar?
They will physically fit, but on a 25.5" scale in standard tuning the tension is very high. These are meant for baritone scale lengths and lower tunings.
02What tuning are they for?
Baritone sets are built for tunings below standard — commonly B to B or A to A on a long-scale instrument.
03Do I need a setup after changing to these?
If you are coming from lighter strings, yes. Expect to check relief, intonation, and possibly nut slot width.
04How many strings are in the set?
It is a six-string electric guitar set, one complete set per package.
