Natural Feel, Exceptional Longevity

For the best in durability, power, and crisp treble tones, look to Orbiters Balanced strings from Stringjoy! The Orbiters Balanced lineup of strings boasts enamel-coated nickel-plated steel nuanced winding atop an uncoated core for exceptional strength and long-lasting playability. This set of light-gauge electric strings is a step-up from the super-light pluses in terms of their stiffness, fortifying your strings' durability and intonation without losing the easy-playing flexibility and comfortable feel that coated Orbiters are known for. Proudly crafted in Nashville, Stringjoy Signatures are designed to deliver your very best sound, from the stage to the studio.

Why choose Stringjoy?

When you dress your fretboard in Stringjoy guitar strings, you’re not just settling for any “off-the-rack” string pack.

And such a commitment to perfecting the end sound of your instrument comes with an even greater dedication to craftsmanship, from the very start of the process to the very end. From electrics to acoustics, and basses to baritones, the Nashville-based company is constantly evolving to deliver the best for your instrument. To put it plainly: Stringjoy understands the influence your strings have in terms of building your sound, and that’s a quality Sweetwater musicians can get behind!

Reviews

Great Strings
I've tried coated strings before and never really liked the feel. I love the Stringjoy Signature strings so I decided to give these a try and they feel, play, and sound amazing to me.
Best strings ever
I have a few guitars and wanted to use coated strings so they last longer, but I didn't want them to feel different. These are the strings for me, they last forever and feel the same as uncoated strings.
Amazing Strings
Wow! I can't believe I have only just found Stringjoy. orbiters are amazing. Highly recommend Stringjoy.
Music background: 30 year guitar player and Ernie Ball user.
Worth
These Orbiters sound very close to Stringjoy's Signatures (regular nickel-plated steel), but trade some of the sparkle for a bit more bite. As for the coating, I feel absolutely no difference between these and their uncoated strings. IMO Stringjoys are a step up in sound quality compared with most other string brands, and these are no exception.
Music background: Hobbyist musician and total gearhead
Happy with these strings
I've been using these Orbiter strings on my 2009 Taylor T5 for a couple of years and I like them. They are quite playable and they last longer than other strings I have played. They are not particularly bright but do sustain well. I recently ordered a wound G to see if I could get a better acoustic sound out of this guitar. I put their Signatures on my 2001 PRS CE 24 and my 2001 G&L ASAT Deluxe and I like them as well, bright and playable. I'm planning to try a lighter gauge string on these two guitars. The company is quite responsive to inquiries about best strings for my instruments. They stay in touch with emails quite often, but that is managable if needed.
Music background: Been playing for decades and returned to regular practicing following retirement. Loving it.
