Choosing Strings For Your Guitar
When I walked into the guitar store for the first time, I was blown away by the large selection of the strings they had. Different brands, labels and numbers, I was confused. So I decided to write this article for those, who are as confused as I was when I was starting to play guitar.
Good strings can greatly improve guitar sound quality, so you’re choice must be wise.
Gauge
Gauge represents strings diameter. The heavier gauge the strings are the tighter they must be, therefore making it harder to fret and bend notes. Standart gauge for string sets are 10-52 or 09-46, however there are many variations and possibilities to combine your strings gauges as you want.
Core
round and hex cores are the main guitar string core types. Round core strings is made from a round wire. Hex core strings are made hexagon-shaped wire. Round core strings are easier to bend and they produces a warmer sound, but hex core strings has a faster response and has longer durability than round core strings.
Winding
There are three ways, how the strings are wound:
Round-Wound is the main string winding type. These strings has a round wire wrap, making it easier to grip the strings. The main disadvantage is that there is more string noise during note and chord changes than with other winding types.
Half-Round strings are more warmer than round-wound and has less string noise.
Flat-Wound strings resemble plain strings. They have almost no string noise and they produce soft, mellow tones.
Material
This is the important string feature. The music style you play will determine you string material choice.
Bronze strings is the brightest sounding strings. They’re made for acoustic guitars.The combination of copper and zinc in these strings are 80/20.
Phosphor Bronze strings has more copper amount in them. They’re warmer than bronze strings.
Pure Nickel has a warm tone. The volume level is lower than Nickel Plated strings.
Nickel Plated Or Nickel Wound has a greater sustain and brighter tone than Pure Nickel strings. They are also louder than Pure Nickel strings.
Stainless Steel strings has a more agressive sounding than nickel strings. They also damage your frets more than strings from other material.
This was a short description of guitar string types. I hope that now you’ll able to choose the right strings for your guitar.
