SIT 11-56 Power Wound Nickel Electric Guitar Strings
SIT S1156 Power Wound Nickel Electric Guitar Strings – Heavier Bottom, Drop-Tuned Dominance
Engineered for guitarists who demand punishing low-end response and rock-solid tuning stability, the SIT S1156 Power Wound Nickel set is purpose-built for drop tunings and heavy-handed playing. Featuring a Medium Top / Extra-Heavy Bottom gauge configuration (.011, .014, .019, .032, .044, .056), this set maintains balanced tension when tuning down a full step to D standard or exploring lower drop tunings.
Premium Construction, Superior Tone
Handcrafted in Akron, Ohio, since 1980, SIT (Stay-In-Tune) strings are built with a hard-tempered hexagonal high-carbon steel core, precision-wound with nickel-plated steel wrap wire. This construction delivers a bright, balanced tone with clear highs, tight lows, and smooth mids—providing the articulation needed for aggressive riffing and the warmth required for expressive lead work.
The S.I.T. Difference
SIT's legendary "Stay-In-Tune" process ensures maximum tuning stability, even through the most demanding performances. Trusted by artists like Ben Elmer, who relies on the 11-56 set for "the heavier stuff," these strings offer exceptional longevity and consistent feel. Whether you're crushing modern metal, driving hard rock, or exploring downtuned sonic territory, the SIT S1156 Power Wound Nickels deliver the power, clarity, and reliability you need.
