GHS Nickel Rockers Wound 3rd 1400 Medium Light .012-.054 Electric guitar string set

General

The GHS Nickel Rockers Wound 3rd 1400 is a 6-string set for electric guitar with a medium-light gauge range of .012 to .054. A notable feature: the G string is wound (wound 3rd), which gives a different playing feel and tonal balance to a plain G. The strings are made from pure nickel and feature a roller-wound construction, combined with a round core for a smooth response. A characterful set for those seeking warmth, definition and a solid foundation. Made in the USA.

Wound 3rd: tighter intonation and fuller mids

A wound G string often delivers a more even tone across the set, with a fuller midrange and a more ‘vintage’ character. This can provide just that little bit more cohesion and definition, particularly when playing chords and melody lines. The roller-wound finish also feels smoother than standard round-wound, which is great for slide playing and position changes. Thanks to the round-core construction, the strings respond flexibly to your touch and dynamics, whilst the gauge of up to .054 at the bottom end provides a solid, stable foundation.

Who is this set designed for?

This Nickel Rockers set is suitable for virtually any 6-string electric guitar and, with its .012–.054 gauge, is ideal for players who want a bit more tension and tonal richness. Think of guitarists who want a warm, round tone, play a lot of chords, or are looking for a tight, full bass response. The wound G string makes this set particularly appealing to those who want a more consistent string balance and prefer the feel and sound of a wound third string. A good match for styles where tone and control are key.
