Stringjoy SJ-BAL Signatures Balanced Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings

Stringjoy's standard electric guitar strings, Signatures are nickel-wound for a balanced frequency response and excellent intonation.

I know what you're thinking: 10 to 48? I thought Light strings went 10 to 46? Yeah well, let me explain...

Stringjoy do a lot of experimenting around here with different string gauges -- and Stringjoy loves to run the tension math to see how certain sets perform. Through all that, they'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 their Balanced Lights, they 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.

This is Stringjoy's most popular set of strings for a reason.

What should you expect from Stringjoy signatures?
- Present, focused tone that brings out the true voice of your guitar and the details of your playing style.
- Modern, reconstructed gauges aimed at balancing the tension, tone, and feel of the strings across the fretboard.
- High-mass winding, leading to higher output, fuller tone, and improved longevity.

Stringjoy Signatures electric guitar strings are made by a small team in Nashville, TN, USA, out of all-American materials: Stringjoy's top quality Nickel-Plated Steel, wound around a high-carbon hexagonal steel core wire.
The combination of better materials and more careful craftsmanship creates a more natural-sounding, longer lasting string, without the tone-deadening read more effects of string coatings.

Stringjoy is known for Stringjoy's quality control. Stringjoy's strings are wound in small batches, and Stringjoy uses real human beings at every step of the process: the winding, the coiling, the packing, you name it.

Every string is inspected individually before it goes into your set. If anything is wrong with a string, from the way it's secured around the ball end, through the entire winding, it doesn't make the cut.

What does all that mean for you?
- Better tuning stability for the life of the string
- Longer string life and less breakage, when cared for properly
- Smoother, more balanced playability across the neck of the guitar
