Roundwound Electric Guitar Strings

Whether you're a blues guitarist who prefers a lighter gauge for easy bending or a metalhead who needs a heavier gauge for drop-D tuning, you'll find more than enough options in this selection of round electric guitar strings. From Ernie Ball and D'Addario to Elixir and GHS, all your favorite string brands are here offering their own sets. In fact, you'll even come across packs that are made specifically for certain playing styles like blues or metal, as well as sets that are made in collaboration with famous artists like Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd.

Speaking of blues, the D'Addario EXL 115W Nickel Blues/Jazz Wound 3rd Electric Guitar Strings are top sellers. Known around the world as "The Player's Choice", XL strings are wound with nickel-plated steel - prized for its one-of-a-kind bright sound and terrific intonation. Strap these bad boys on your guitar and you'll enjoy playing countless scales and chords before any needed string changes. Or, maybe you're gunning for a tone that's one step closer to the guitar on your favorite Pantera album – in which case, go with the DR Strings Dimebag Darrell DBG-10/52 Medium-Heavy Hi-Voltage Electric Guitar Strings. These exceptional roundwounds are designed to hold in tune and tone through a myriad of whammy-bar dives, riffing, harmonic screams and bends.

And not every set of roundwound electric guitar strings here is genre-specific. Many of these packages are ideal for a wide range of styles; just take a look at one of the light or medium Cleartone Treated Series sets. Constructed with nickel-plated steel that's wrapped over a hex core, Cleartone strings contain a unique treatment called EMP that involves coating the strings with a super-thin protective film. The result is a string set that can withstand more hard-hitting abuse compared to coatings that are 1000 times thicker. Give these strings a go and experience for yourself why guitarists return to them time and again.

The versatility of roundwound electric guitar strings make them the most popular string type among most strummers and shredders - and as you can see from these pages, you don't need to look any further for a pack that perfectly matches your discerning tastes. And don't think you have to settle for just one pack - after all, roundwound electric guitar strings are so affordably priced, you could easily stock up on a variety of types from this catalog alone.
