Strings for Every Musician
Finding your sound takes years of practice, the right gear and — crucially — a good set of strings. It can take time and experimentation to find strings that feel good, sound great and hold up session after session and gig after gig. Built on a foundation of durability and keeping you in tune, S.I.T. Strings has electric guitar strings in a variety of materials, types and gauge sizes to help you find and keep your sound.
Choosing Your Material
The first choice you need to make is whether you want nickel or stainless steel strings for your electric guitar. If you are searching for strings with broader applications and a balanced tone, give nickel sets a shot. If you’re after a brighter sound, try the stainless steel strings.
S.I.T. Strings also has nickel strings coated with corrosion resistant technology (CRT). CRT coated electric guitar strings keep the bright, high-quality tone and organic feel of uncoated strings, while improving protection and extending longevity.
Pick Your String Type
Material isn’t the only factor that will affect how you play — the type of strings on your electric guitar matters too.
- Power Wound is the original Stay-In-Tune string set, with excellent all-around tone and durability that can’t be beat. These are the favorites of countless musicians.
- Power Groove strings are power wound strings with a pure nickel wrap, perfect for the warm tone and intonation needed for vintage guitars.
- Power Steel stainless steel sets deliver a brilliant, cutting tone, perfect for players who want extra brightness and sustain. These strings also have corrosion-resistant properties, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Flat wound strings provide a polished, smooth feel and a mellow sound perfect for styles like jazz and R&B.
- Silencer semi-flat strings combine the smooth feel of semi-flat wound strings with the bright tone and sustain of a round wound string. The results are a rich sound with excellent articulation and a smooth playing experience.
- Signature Series strings are made and used by the artists whose name they bear. These strings are handcrafted to each artist’s specifications, delivering a personalized playing experience and tone. Whether it’s metal, rock or jazz, these artist-designed sets give players the chance to experience the same sound their favorite musicians use on stage and in the studio.
- Universals Balanced Tension strings provide exceptionally balanced feel and tone with consistent tension in every string.
