RogueW36 Bulk 12-Pack .036 Nickel Electric Guitar Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bulk pack of twelve .036 nickel-wound electric guitar singles. For replacing a broken low string or stocking spares in bulk.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping a broken wound string without wasting a full set
- Repair benches and school programs that restring often
- Building custom heavier-bottom sets for lower tunings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a complete six-string restring in one purchase
- Acoustic players — bronze-wound strings suit those guitars
- Guitars with narrow nut slots cut for lighter gauges
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 winding
Warmer and smoother under the fingers than stainless steel, with less finger squeak on slides.
Detail 03
Wound construction
Wire wrapped over a core. Wound strings wear and go dull faster than plain steel.
Detail 04
12-pack of the same gauge
All identical. Spares or custom-set material, not a ready-to-use set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Twelve of one gauge only, not a complete set.
- 02A .036 may not fit nut slots cut for a thinner string; filing could be needed.
- 03Heavier gauge raises tension — expect a truss rod and intonation check.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which string on my guitar is a .036?
It is a wound string, usually used in the low D or A position depending on the set. Heavier than the A string in most standard gauges.
02Is this a complete set of strings?
No. It is twelve identical .036 nickel-wound singles, meant as replacements or for assembling custom gauge sets.
03What does nickel winding sound like?
Nickel is warmer and less abrasive than stainless steel, with a smoother feel under the fingers and less squeak when sliding.
04Will a .036 fit my nut?
Check the slot width. If your guitar came with lighter strings, the slot may be too narrow and need filing to seat properly.
