Premium American Craftsmanship

Whether you're bending, stretching, or aggressively picking, these strings hold their pitch with unwavering stability.
The Perfect Gauge for Versatility
The Extra Light 9-42 gauge offers effortless playability for lead work and comfortable bending, while the .042 low E provides enough tension for solid rhythm playing.
