How much force a particular guitar or bass string pulls with when tuned up to a given pitch. Various factors can influence this, such as scale length, tuning, string gauge, string formulation, break angles at the nut and bridge, type of tailpiece, and more. String tension determines how “tight” or stiff the string feels when playing it, especially when bending strings.
