Detail 01
Light gauge
Lower tension, so bends and vibrato take less effort. Trades some low-end thickness and tuning stability under hard 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
Nickel-plated steel
The common electric string wrap. Balanced brightness, works with any magnetic pickup, gentler on frets than pure stainless.
Detail 03
Electric guitar strings
Steel core is magnetic, so pickups read them. Won't drive a purely acoustic setup the same way.
Detail 04
Single set
One restring's worth of six strings. Buy multiples if you change strings monthly or break strings often.

Know before you order
- 01Changing gauge can shift intonation and neck relief; a setup may be needed

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What gauges are in a light set?
Light is the standard everyday electric gauge, a middle ground between extra light and medium. Check the package for the exact string-by-string sizes.
02Will these fit my Strat or Les Paul?
Yes. These are standard six-string electric guitar strings and fit any common electric with a standard scale length.
03Do I need a setup after installing these?
If you're coming from the same gauge, no. Moving from a heavier or lighter gauge changes tension, which can affect relief and intonation.
04Can I use these on an acoustic guitar?
They'll physically fit, but nickel-plated electric strings sound thin acoustically. Use bronze or phosphor bronze strings for acoustic.
