Balanced Light Gauge (10-48) Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings
I know what you're thinking: 10 to 48? I thought Light strings went 10 to 46? Yeah well, let me explain"¦ We do a lot of experimenting around here with different string gauges "” I know, we're nerds "” and we love to run the tension math to see how certain sets perform. Through all that, we've discovered two inherent problems in a typical 10-46 "Light" set: there are big dips in tension on both the 2nd and 6th strings (.013 and .046, respectively). So, with our Balanced 10s, we fix all that by using a .0135 and a .048 instead. The result is a set of strings that plays evenly across the entire fretboard and intonates better. So if you've been a classic 10s player, you have to give these a try. Seriously. Sound good? Rad. Hit the blue button below to add these to your cart. Gauges: .010 "“ .0135 "“ .017 "“ .026w "“ .036 "“ .048 Want to customize? Load these gauges in our Custom Set Builder.
