Stringjoy Signatures | Balanced Light Gauge (10-48) Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings

StringJoy did a lot of experimenting around their parts with different string gauges — they know, we’re nerds (sic) — and musicians love to run the tension math to see how certain sets perform. Through all that, Stringjoy discovered two inherent problems in a typical 10-46 “Light” set: there are big dips in tension on both the 2nd and 6th strings (.013 and .046, respectively). So, with their Balanced Lights, they fixed all that by using a .0135 and a .048 instead.

The result is a set of strings that plays evenly across the entire fretboard and intonates better. So if you’ve been a classic 10s player, you have to give these a try. Seriously.

This is Stringjoy's most popular set of strings for a reason.

Gauges: .010 – .0135 – .017 – .026w – .036 – .048
