GHS Nickel Rockers R+RUL Ultra Light .008-.038 Electric Guitar set of strings for an electric guitar

General

The GHS Nickel Rockers R+RUL is a 6-string set for electric guitar with an ultra-light gauge range of .008 to .038. This makes it the perfect choice if you’re looking for minimal string tension and want to bend strings effortlessly. The strings are made from pure nickel and feature a roller-wound finish, whilst the round core ensures a flexible response. As the name suggests, the focus here is on comfortable playing, with a tone that remains beautifully musical and warm. Made in the USA.

Feel: light, fast and supple

Thanks to the thin gauges, this set feels light straight away and your guitar responds very sensitively to your touch. This is ideal for fast licks, subtle vibrato and big bends with less effort. The roller-wound finish provides a smoother feel than standard round-wound strings, making slides more comfortable and reducing the prominence of finger noise. The round-core construction adds extra flexibility, so the strings don’t feel stiff, whilst still delivering the clear response you want from an electric guitar.

Suitable for which players and guitars?

This set is suitable for virtually any 6-string electric guitar and is aimed primarily at guitarists who want to play lightly or are looking for an extremely accessible string tension. The gauges (.008, .011, .014, .022, .030, .038) make this a logical choice for lead players and for those who like to practise comfortably or play for long periods without tiring their fingers. Are you looking for a warm nickel tone, but in an ultra-light version? Then these Nickel Rockers are a perfect match.
