String Filter

Acoustic and Electric String Tension Names Explained


An issue players face is how manufacturers across the globe name their gauges as tensions with such a wide range.

To simplify, tension names listed on our string filter are standardized to what most manufacturers use.

Acoustic strings for example, show "Light" as a standard 12-52 set. Then, + and - refer to thicker or thinner variations based on the standard set.

Electric strings for example, show "Light" as a standard 10-46 set. Then, + and - refer to thicker or thinner variations based on the standard set.

We believe that selecting the right diameters for your instruments and your playing style is VERY important. We hope that our precise categorization helps you filter your specific needs. If you are unsure what strings to purchase and would rather use a human player filter, don't hesitate to contact us.
