Detail 01
Light gauge
Less tension under the fingers. Bends and vibrato take noticeably less effort, but the strings give more under a hard pick attack.

GHSEric Johnson Signature Series Nickel Rockers Light Electric Guitar Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
GHS Eric Johnson signature Nickel Rockers in a light gauge. A single electric set for players who want lower tension and easier bends without changing string type.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who bend and vibrato constantly and want less finger effort
- Guitars already set up for light gauge, no adjustment needed
- Standard-tuning electrics being restrung with the same feel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drop or baritone tunings, where light gauge goes slack
- Heavy pickers who want stiff strings that push back
- Acoustic, classical, or bass guitars
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 wrap
Nickel is softer than stainless steel, so it's gentler on frets and less abrasive on fingertips over long sessions.
Detail 03
Signature set
A named player's preferred gauge combination. It's a specific set, not a special material, and nothing about it limits what you play.
Detail 04
Electric guitar strings
Steel core designed to drive magnetic pickups. They won't move an acoustic top the way bronze strings will.
Detail 05
$13.35 per set
Mid-range for a single pack. If you restring monthly, that per-change cost adds up faster than a budget set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One set of six strings. No spare plain strings, picks, or winder included
- 02Switching from heavier strings usually means a truss rod and intonation check
- 03Floyd Rose users still need to clip the ball ends before installing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What gauge is this set?
It's sold as a light gauge set. The exact string-by-string gauges are printed on the pack, so check that before ordering if you're matching an existing setup.
02Will these work on my acoustic?
No. These are electric strings with a steel core built for magnetic pickups. On an acoustic they'll sound thin and quiet compared with bronze acoustic strings.
03Do I need a setup after switching to these?
Only if you're coming from a different gauge. Same gauge, no change needed. Moving from heavier strings, expect to check relief and intonation.
04Do I have to play like Eric Johnson to use these?
No. It's a light gauge electric set with nickel wrap. The signature name refers to the gauge choice, not to any restriction on style.
