Who are these strings for?

Ideal for electric guitarists looking for a classic rock ’n’ roll response with a smoother, less aggressive magnetic interaction than typical nickel-plated steel strings. They suit players who find .009 sets too light and .010 sets too stiff, and they work brilliantly for classic rock, blues and jazz—especially if you like shaping your sound with the guitar’s volume control for a naturally softer top end.
