Plain Steel Strings (found in all electric or acoustic string sets):

• At least 43″ from ball-end to tail, the only exception are .007, .024 & .026 plain gauges, which are 41″

Wound Acoustic Strings:

• 46.5″ total length, 39.75″ of which is wound and 6.75″ of which is a core wire tail, which can be used to anchor the string around the tuning peg if extra length is needed.

Wound Electric Strings:

• 46.5″ total length, 39.75″ of which is wound and 6.75″ of which is a core wire tail, which can be used to anchor the string around the tuning peg if extra length is needed.
• Strings .068-.074 and up have a taper at 35.5″ from the ball-end, since these fit through standard tuners the linger taper makes them fairly universal.
• Strings .080-.095 have a taper at 32″ from the ball-end (great for most 27″ scale and under guitars), except for Bass VI .090 and .095s, which have a taper at 35.5″
• Strings .080 and up have a very slight taper at the ball-end to keep them from getting stuck in bridges. It does not affect performance.

Bass Strings:

• All bass strings are 54″ in total length, roughly 48″ of which is wound (slightly less on short and medium scale lengths)
• Strings .060 and up have a taper at a certain length from the ball-end, depending on the scale. When installed, this taper should sit between the nut and the tuning peg, if you have picked the right scale strings for your bass.
  • Short Scale: 32.75″
  • Medium Scale: 34.75″
  • Long Scale: 37.1″
  • Extra Long Scale: 39.25″
  • Strings .055 and under are marked “Universal Scale.” Since they have only one wrap they have no taper, so they can be cut to any length to work for any scale bass.
• Strings .125 and up have a very slight taper at the ball-end to keep them from getting stuck in bridges. It does not affect performance.

What should you expect from Stringjoy Signatures?

1. Present, focused tone that brings out the true voice of your guitar and the details of your playing style.
2. Modern, reconstructed gauges aimed at balancing the tension, tone, and feel of the strings across the fretboard.
3. High-mass winding, leading to higher output, fuller tone, and improved longevity.

How do we make our strings?

• Stringjoy Signatures electric guitar strings are made by a small team in Nashville, TN, USA, out of all-American materials: our top quality Nickel-Plated Steel, wound around a high-carbon hexagonal steel core wire.
• The combination of better materials and more careful craftsmanship creates a more natural-sounding, longer lasting string, without the tone-deadening effects of string coatings.
• We’re known for our quality control. Our strings are wound in small batches, and we use real human beings at every step of the process: the winding, the coiling, the packing, you name it.
• Every string is inspected individually before it goes into your set. If anything is wrong with a string, from the way it’s secured around the ball end, through the entire winding, it doesn’t make the cut.

What does all that mean for you?

✓ Better tuning stability for the life of the string ✓ Longer string life and less breakage, when cared for properly ✓ Smoother, more balanced playability across the neck of the guitar
