Through careful experimentation and calculation we have developed these balanced tension string sets. Even tension from low to high makes these ultra-playable for slide and for fretted playing for the best of both worlds. This set is a little lighter than our regular gauge, so tunes up to a lower tension and is easier to fret.

Top quality UK made strings, nickel wound on hexagonal steel core, suitable for electric or acoustic guitars.

Gauges 042, 028, 020 for G - D - G tuning - as fitted to Chickenbone John guitars.

You might be making your guitar from junk, but don't compromise on the strings - this is the very start of your sound. Handwound in the UK.
