Read More »Deciding which are the best electric guitar strings for your playing is something not all guitarists take a lot of time to consider. For the most part, guitar players tend to stick to what they know, or what the staff in the guitar shop tell them, and seldom take a chance on a different brand or gauge of strings. But your guitar strings are one of the most important components of how your guitar plays and can have a huge effect on how it sounds. They are the conduit by which your creativity passes from your hands into your pickups, and finally out of your amplifier into the world. Looking for a bargain? Well, our Cyber Monday guitar deals page is the place to go. From now until the end of Cyber weekend, we’ll be bringing you the very best offers we can find on a range of brilliant music gear.

Read More »Ernie Ball’s second entry on this list comes in the form of these unusual cobalt-plated strings. Cobalt as an element is around three times more magnetic than nickel, which means that these strings interact differently with your pickups. Cobalt strings will sound louder than a standard nickel-plated or pure steel string thanks to this unique magnetic relationship. They also have a rougher texture than a regular nickel-plated string, so they're great if you’re the sort of player who really wants to feel their strings. The sound is crisp, with great harmonics and increased low-end response. Combine that with the usual Ernie Ball durability, and you’ve got a string with the potential to be a real game-changer. 6. Rotosound Electric Guitar Strings A great all-rounder for any playing style Specifications Spec: Nickel-plated with steel core, uncoated Today's Best Deals View at Amazon (opens in new tab) Reasons to buy + Consistent from pack to pack + Includes a spare high E Reasons to avoid - Not the longest-lasting - Might be too bright for some Rotosound is a UK-based brand that was making strings for Jimi Hendrix and The Who back in the heyday of rock’n’roll guitar. Despite this classic rock heritage, its forward-thinking manufacturing processes are more than a match for the modern player, with Guthrie Govan being one of many avid users of the brand. One of the things players regularly praise about Rotosounds is their consistency from pack to pack. Likely because the company's spent so long making strings, you’ll seldom find a difference from string change to string change, which makes them great when you need reliable sound for regular gigging. These strings have a bright tonality overall which may have some players reaching for the treble knob. But whether you have single coils or humbuckers, they’ll serve you equally well no matter your set-up or play style. 7. Fender Pure Nickel A great guitar string perfect for Strat players Specifications Spec: Pure nickel with hex core, uncoated Today's Best Deals View at Amazon (opens in new tab) View at Thomann (opens in new tab) View at Andertons (opens in new tab) Reasons to buy + Great for Strat players + Brilliant vintage blues tone Reasons to avoid - Might not suit non Fender players - Not for contemporary styles Fender’s pure nickel strings are the perfect match for the Strat slingers out there or those who love their low gain blues guitar playing. Manufactured to match Fender guitars, they’re surprisingly low in cost, making them great value for money. Pure nickel strings are highly sought after by those with a yearning for vintage guitar tone because they were common in the mid-’50s and ’60s, the golden era of guitar building. Pure nickel strings are slightly softer than wound strings, meaning they wear less on your frets. In terms of sound, it’s a warm tone with a slightly lower output than that of a regular guitar string. This means they sound more ‘played in’ when you first put them on, as you don’t get that initial zing of new strings. 8. Gibson Brite Wires The best guitar string for LP guitars Specifications Spec: Nickel-plated steel with hex core, uncoated Today's Best Deals Preorder at Andertons (opens in new tab) View at Amazon (opens in new tab) Reasons to buy + Warm tone and awesome sustain + Low tension makes for easy bending Reasons to avoid - Low tension might not suit all players - Not the most durable Designed and built by Gibson’s master luthiers, the Brite Wire string range comes pre-strung on all genuine Gibson guitars straight out of the factory. Gibson strings don’t seem to get much kudos from the guitar community, but they do their job very well indeed. They feature a hex-core made of high carbon steel, with a nickel-plated wrap for extra brightness. Gibson also does a set of pure nickels for lower output, but we went with these as we prefer a brighter string to pair with an LP or SG. The sound of these strings is bright and crisp, making them a perfect match with a pair of humbuckers. There’s no hint of mud in the low end here, and the highs really ring out nicely, making them great for rhythm and lead work. 9. DR Strings Neon Strings for the player who wants to stand out from the crowd Specifications Spec: Nickel-plated steel with hex core, K3 coated Today's Best Deals View at Amazon (opens in new tab) View at Thomann (opens in new tab) View at Thomann (opens in new tab) Reasons to buy + Long-lasting + Stands out on stage Reasons to avoid - Coated feel not for everyone - Divisive looks When players first see a set of DR Strings Neons they’ll either love or loathe them. Yet despite their divisive looks, there’s actually a proprietary technology behind the bright colors that make these strings extremely long-lasting. DR Strings Neon have a far coarser feel than your typical, more slippery coated string. They still keep the same long-lasting properties you expect of coated, but offer a decidedly different feel. In terms of sound, these make no apologies for sounding different from a regular guitar string. More volume combines with fewer overtones, creating a more articulate sound with both single-note playing and especially chord work. Not only do they stand out in looks, but they’re unique in tone too. 10. GHS Boomers One of the best value electric guitar strings you can buy Specifications Spec: Steel core, phosphor bronze winding, Nanoweb coating Today's Best Deals View at Amazon (opens in new tab) View at Amazon (opens in new tab) Reasons to buy + Excellent value + Bright tone Reasons to avoid - Some gauges are too similar - High tension won’t suit all

Read More »GHS Boomers are a great all-around string at a low cost. Having been in production since the ’60s, they’ve been used by musicians across all genres. Thanks to their low cost and great sound, they’ve found themselves with a huge following. Utilizing a high core to cover ratio (i.e. the thickness of the core and the thickness of the wind), these strings deliver a higher tension. This means they’ll put up with downtuning a lot better and also give you a stiffer-feeling string, which some players prefer. They have a bright character overall and when freshly strung are very lively. The high tension won’t be for everyone, but if you like a solid string to attack then these will feel great in your hands. 11. Dunlop Heavy Core For those players who like to get heavy Specifications Spec: Nickel-plated steel with hex core, uncoated Today's Best Deals View at Andertons (opens in new tab) View at Amazon (opens in new tab) View at Amazon (opens in new tab) Reasons to buy + Great for heavier styles + Very durable Reasons to avoid - Not for standard tuning - Might be too thick for some Let’s face it, Jim Dunlop is primarily known for its outstanding range of guitar care, picks, and other accessories, rather than guitar strings. That said, this particular range offers a unique take with something no other manufacturer is really doing: gunning for those who like things heavy. Made in California, Heavy Core strings are designed to be drop-tuned thanks to their core-to-wrap ratio which results in a higher tension. So when you drop tune, you don’t get the dreaded string flop, and instead they maintain a solid playing feel. Tight low end is the name of the game here, and these strings do it extremely well. They’re balanced in the mids and smooth in the highs too, sounding great both clean and distorted. If you’re a hard rocker or metalhead, then you’ll definitely find something to love with these. One of the most common complaints about a set of coated strings is that they lack the feel of a regular round wound. Often feeling slippery or sticky, D’Addario’s X-Series aims to negate this with a thin film of coating that's reportedly a tenth of the thickness of a human hair. What this means is that your string is completely protected from the rigors of your sweat and artistic endeavor, whilst retaining the tonal flavor of a regular uncoated guitar string. The X-Series is available in two types, the first is XT which offers the feel of a regular string, whilst the XS feels a lot smoother, like a regular set of coated strings. D’Addario X-Series strings last much longer than an uncoated string, whilst still retaining the majority of tonal qualities appreciated by guitar players across the globe. It’s an impressive feat of engineering that will find favor with many a guitar player.
