RogueW38 Bulk 12-Pack .038 Nickel Electric Guitar Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A bulk dozen of single .038 nickel-wound electric strings, sold as one gauge only. For techs, teachers, or players who break the same string repeatedly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Repair benches restocking a commonly broken single gauge
- School or rental programs replacing strings on many guitars
- Players who snap the same wound string often
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a full set — this is one gauge, twelve times
- Players wanting a specific tension or coating
- Acoustic, bass, or classical 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-wound
Warmer and softer on frets than stainless steel. Standard electric feel, less bite in the top end.
Detail 03
12-pack of one string
Every string in the box is identical. Useful for restocking, useless for restringing a whole guitar.
Detail 04
Electric guitar strings
Steel-cored and magnetic, so they work with electric pickups. Not intended for acoustic or nylon instruments.
Detail 05
$6.99 for twelve
Under sixty cents per string. Cost per replacement is the main reason to buy this format.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I restring a whole guitar with this?
No. All twelve strings are .038. You would need packs of each other gauge to build a complete set.
02Is .038 the D string or the A string?
It depends on the set. In many light electric sets .038 sits at the D or G position; in heavier sets it lands lower.
03Will these work on an acoustic guitar?
They will physically fit, but nickel-wound electric strings sound thin acoustically. Use bronze-wound strings for an acoustic.
04Are these coated?
No. Plain nickel wound, so expect normal corrosion from sweat and handling. Wipe them down after playing.
