GHS Nickel Rockers 1300 Medium .011-.058 Electric Guitar set of strings for an electric guitar

General

The GHS Nickel Rockers 1300 is a string set for 6-string electric guitars, designed for players who like to tune down whilst still maintaining a tight, stable feel. Thanks to its lo-tune configuration, you get extra grip on the lower strings, with a solid .058 gauge as the foundation. This makes the set ideal for heavy rhythms, thick riffs and well-defined low notes, without your tone becoming muddy. At the same time, the set remains comfortable to play for lead work and chords.

Lo-tune: tight bass, without a slack feel

This set is constructed with gauges ranging from .011 to .058, giving you more tension and control in down-tunings than with a standard light or regular set. On the low string in particular, this helps to keep intonation and attack sharp, even when you strike hard or play with gain. The result is a solid response that suits modern rock and metal riffs well, but also works for bluesy or classic rock parts where you’re looking for a fuller foundation. A real workhorse set for lower tunings.

Pure nickel roller-wound: warm and musical

The Nickel Rockers are made from pure nickel and feature a roller-wound wrap around a round core. This produces a warm, rounded tone with a fine midrange and a smooth playing feel. You get plenty of bite to cut through the mix, but with a more vintage-style tone than many harsh-sounding strings. What’s more, these strings are made in the USA, ensuring consistent quality. Ideal if you tune low but still want a rich, musical sound.
