Gibson Vintage Reissue Electric Guitar Strings Ultra Light 9-42

The Gibson Vintage Reissue Electric Guitar Strings Ultra Light 9-42 recreate the original formula developed by Gibson Master Luthiers in the 1950s, bringing authentic vintage tone to modern players. Pure nickel winding over a hex-shaped, tinned-steel core delivers the rounder, fuller character that defined classic Gibson recordings. Unlike nickel-plated steel alternatives, these uncoated strings offer warmer harmonic response and dynamic output across the entire frequency range, with clear articulation that suits blues, rock, jazz, and everything between.

The hex-shaped core construction ensures mechanical stability and consistent volume, while the pure nickel wrap wire provides durability without sacrificing the organic feel players expect from vintage-spec strings. This Ultra Light gauge set runs .009, .011, .016p, .024, .032, and .042, offering easy bending and reduced finger fatigue during extended playing sessions. Factory-spec at Gibson Custom, these strings maintain the tonal signature and playability standards that Gibson electric guitars have been voiced around for over seven decades. Made in the USA to original specifications.
