Ultra-modern Manufacturing Produces a Superbly Balanced String

For years, PRS guitars have shipped with PRS custom strings that players all over the world have loved to get their hands on. The PRS Classic Electric Guitar Strings provide a balanced and high-output tone when you plug in your guitar. Each nickel-plated plain string is drawn through high-quality dies while the bass strings' steel hex core is computer wound with a nickel wrap. This winding technique's pinpoint accuracy results in a comfortable playing tension and long-term durability. Guitar players of all kinds at Sweetwater rave about the superb tonal balance that these pure nickel-wound strings provide.

A History of Innovation

Always an innovator, Paul Reed Smith took the guitar world by storm in the late 1980s. His original designs, highly figured maple caps, and incredible craftsmanship set PRS up as a major guitar manufacturer. Since then, Paul and the design team at PRS have never stopped innovating. They've redesigned classic models from the 1950s and improved pickup configurations, tremolo systems, and manufacturing techniques without sacrificing the famous PRS quality and attention to detail. Now, they've produced extremely high-quality guitar strings that players love.

Reviews

I Love these!
When Dean Markley discontinued the vintage strings (with a wound 3rd) that I was using, I had to find an alternative. I was turned onto these by a guy in a local music store. I use these on my humbucker guitars. They have a nice, mellow bite to them really work well with my guitars, amps, etc. They are well constructed, stay in tune well, and are long-lasting.
No, they don't have the color-coded eyelets like some other brands have, and they pair them up a bit strangely in the package. But they sound terrific!!
Music background: Blues and Rock
wish they would mark string
They just coil strings together with nothing to tell which string is which. I don't have the best eyesight anymore and i shouldn't need a caliber to figure out gauges.

You don't even have to play guitar to know that PRS instruments are in a league of their own. With their exquisitely figured tops and premium appointments, each PRS is a playable work of art. But it goes way deeper than the surface. Every time Paul visits Sweetwater, we get a deeper look at his amazing instruments. We've even hosted several PRS Custom Shop events, complete with Paul's personal Wood Library! Whether they're his most affordable SE electric guitars, top-quality acoustics, or amps, it's always amazing to see what PRS comes up with. What's more, we keep a ton of PRS guitars in our amazing Guitar Showroom, so the staff at Sweetwater can get hands on with all of their latest models. We'd love to tell you all about them.
