Playing Designed to Recapture the Classic Fender "Feel"
The Fender Classic Core strings are designed to put the soul of your electric guitar at the heart of the sound: balanced response, inspiring touch, and that extra roundness reminiscent of more traditional playing styles. Thanks to their round core (more "vintage" styled than modern hex cores), they offer a supple sensation under the fingers and an attack that remains musical, ideal for achieving lively and nuanced playing.
More Flexibility for Singing Bends and Expressive Playing
With a 9-42 gauge, this "Light" set is an excellent choice if you enjoy smooth bends, blues/rock licks, or simply a more comfortable tension for extended playing. The lows remain full and present, while the highs gain softness, helping maintain a balanced sound across a wide range of guitars and amplifiers. Made in the U.S.A., these strings are aimed at guitarists who want a modern sound without losing the tradition of feel.
