GHS Nickel Rockers R+RXL Extra Light .009-.042 Electric Guitar set of strings for an electric guitar

General

The GHS Nickel Rockers R+RXL is a 6-string set for electric guitar with extra-light gauges ranging from .009 to .042. A great set if you like to play lightly, want to bend strings smoothly and are still looking for a full, musical tone. These Nickel Rockers are made from pure nickel and feature a roller-wound construction, which ensures a smoother playing feel. The round core also makes the string response nice and flexible. As you’d expect from GHS, this set is manufactured in the USA.

Warm nickel tone with a comfortable feel

Pure nickel is known for its warm, slightly more vintage-oriented sound, with a pleasant, rounded midrange. The roller-wound finish feels less ‘rough’ than standard round-wound strings, making slides and position changes more comfortable and reducing the prominence of finger noise. Thanks to the round core, the strings respond smoothly to your touch and dynamics, making this set ideal for expressive playing. The result is a set that plays easily, without sounding thin or cold.

Who is this set designed for?

With a gauge of .009, .011, .016, .024, .032 and .042, this is an accessible all-round set for 6-string electric guitars. Ideal for guitarists who play a lot of lead, like to use bends, or simply prefer lower string tension during long playing sessions. At the same time, thanks to the pure nickel, the tone remains beautifully full and musical, which suits styles where feel and tone are important. A strong choice for anyone wanting extra-light strings without compromising on character.
