Balanced Super Light Gauge (9-42) | Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings
Gauges: .009 – .012 – .015 – .024w – .032 – .042
These might look like a typical set of 9s but they're not. The standard for 9s is typically 9-11-16-24-32-42, and while the gauges on the bottom end are solid, the top is all kinds of messed up. The issue on most sets is that the .011 has far too little tension to balance with the .009 and the .016 has far too much tension. With Stringjoy's Balanced 9s they've fixed all that by using a .012 and a .015 instead. The result is a set of strings that plays evenly across the entire fretboard and intonates better when set up properly. If you're a typical 9s player, these are definitely the way to go.
