A "Light Top / Heavy Bottom" Gauge Designed for Electric Guitar
The EKO EL1052HB Heavy Bottom 10-52 set is aimed at electric guitarists who want to keep the flexibility of a light gauge on the treble strings while gaining stability and impact on the bass strings. The result: easier bends and vibratos on the thin strings, and a more solid foundation for riffs, palm mutes, and powerful rhythms.
