Ensures low strings are tight, while bends on higher strings are easier. The feel is very comparable to fanned frets.
Thanks to the use of progressive tension, your low strings won’t be knocked out of tune if you pick too hard.
Thanks to our exclusive blend of alloys, our strings give you superior clarity and note separation, regardless of how low you like to tune.
Developed alongside a scientist – and lifelong guitarist – with a PhD in materials science & metallurgy in order to bring you the best guitar strings possible.
Guarantees maximum quality, consistency & freshness. Strings are tested 4 times during the manufacturing process to ensure you only get the best.
Typical guitar strings are made, then shipped to a distributor where they sit until being shipped to a store, and then sit on a shelf for months until you buy them. Our strings are shipped straight to you, factory fresh which means they last longer. Like fresh baked bread (don’t eat them please).
No more spending an hour going to a guitar store. Our strings show up at your door automatically with fast, free US shipping.
Our strings do not correspond with the tension you would expect due to the way they are wound, which is part of the reason they sound so clear!
The Regular 6 set will feel roughly like a 9.2-47.08 set, the Heavy 6 like a 10.15- 50.04, and the 7 string sets are the same for the first 6 strings, with the 7th on the Regular 7 feeling like a 59.3, and the Heavy 7 feeling like a 62.2. Our Ultra Heavy 6 set will feel like a 13.4-62.2 set and features a wound 3rd string.

6 Strings:
We recommend the Regular 6 set for tuning to standard, or up to a step down. They are usable in drop C as well if you are ok with a more slinky feel.
The Heavy 6 set will work well in standard if you prefer a tighter feel and will perform well for tunings as low as C. If you are tuning lower or prefer more tension we recommend the Ultra Heavy 6 string set.
The Ultra Heavy 6 set provides enough tension to play as low as B standard, drop B or drop C if you prefer a tighter than what our Heavy 6 offers, and offers a wound 3rd string.
7 Strings:
The Regular 7 set is ideal for those tuning to B standard or A if you’re OK with a looser feel. Any lower and we recommend the Heavy 7 set. We do not recommend using it to tune below G.
