Stringjoy Signatures – Balanced Super Light Gauge (9-42) Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings

We are proud to be NZ stockists of Stringjoy! These exceptional quality strings are designed and manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee by players, for players. Their custom gauge sets offer better tension balance as well as great tuning stability and tone!

With hexagonal steel core wire and nickel-plated steel wrap wire, Signatures are the most balanced string in the lineup. They've got more midrange and output than Broadways, but less of each than Orbiters. We recommend Signatures to any player that's looking for a flexible string that can adapt to any style, any guitar, and any genre. You can't go wrong with these.

So these might look like a typical set of 9s (or Super Lights, or Extra Lights—everyone seems to call ‘em something different…), but trust me, they’re not.

The standard for 9s is typically 9-11-16-24-32-42, and while the gauges on the bottom end are solid, the top is all kinds of messed up. Why some other companies make them that way, I honestly couldn’t tell you—but never fear! We’ve fixed all that for you.

See, the issue on most sets is that the .011 has far too little tension to balance with the .009 and the .016 has far too much tension. So, with our Balanced 9s we fix all that by using a .012 and a .015 instead.

The result is a set of strings that plays evenly across the entire fretboard and intonates better when set up properly. If you’re typically a 9s player, these are definitely the way to go.

Gauges: .009 – .012 – .015 – .024w – .032 – .042
