Original Strings Built for Steinberger Instruments
The result of a collaboration between La Bella President Mari Cocco, Jr., and Ned Steinberger, La Bella’s Original Double Ball System electric guitar strings are built specifically for Steinberger’s revolutionary headless instruments with “S”- and “R”-Trem systems. Legions of die-hard fans among Sweetwater’s ranks favor the bright, authoritative tone from each set’s stainless steel windings, bringing the best sonic qualities out of their own Steinbergers. Whether you’re dusting off your decades-old instrument or rocking a modern release, La Bella’s Original Double Ball System strings set your Steinberger back to original spec, the way Ned intended.
Note: These strings cannot be used in Trans-Trem Transposing Tremolo Systems. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have any questions.
La Bella: centuries of expertise in each set of strings
La Bella strings are the top choice for musicians ranging from world-famous artists such as Willie Nelson, Bryan Adams, and Ron Carter to everyday players like many of us here at Sweetwater. The company’s heritage reaches back to the Mari family of Salle, Italy, in the 17th century, and they became famous throughout Europe — even supplying violin strings to Amati and Stradivari. In the early 20th century, brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari moved the string operation to New York, founding the modern La Bella company. Today, La Bella strings are considered among the finest in the world, and we think you'll agree when you hear what they can do for your favorite instrument.
