A 7-string set designed for "Regular Light" versatility
Designed for 7-string electric guitars, the 10-56 Regular Light gauge balances flexibility and stability. You retain a familiar feel on the treble strings for lead and vibrato, while benefiting from an extra low string capable of handling heavy riffs, modern tunings, and aggressive pick attacks without collapsing. An excellent choice if you are looking for a versatile set, equally comfortable in rock, metal, prog, or more nuanced playing.
XS Coating, NY Steel, and Fusion Twist: uncompromising performance
The XS Nickel strings take advantage of the XS coating : an ultrathin film that protects the string and extends its longevity while preserving a bright tone, rich harmonics, and remarkable note-by-note definition. The NY Steel core and Fusion Twist technology improve break resistance and stability, keeping your guitar in tune more easily after bends, heavy palm mutes, and long sessions. Each set comes in a reclosable and recyclable VCI pouch with a code to register and earn Players Circle points.
