We make our strings longer than just about any company to ensure that they will fit on all guitars. All plain steel strings are 43″, wound guitar strings are 46.5″ total with a 39.75″ winding length, and bass strings are 54″ total with a 48″ winding length (or 45″ for short and medium scale bass strings). Bass strings and guitar strings heavier than .060 have varying taper lengths, for full details please see “How long are your strings?” on our FAQs page. For bass strings, please note that our strings do not currently fit 37″ multi-scale basses, but we are working on a line for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 600; margin: 0.9em 0 0.2em;\"\u003eWhy should I pay more for your strings?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.6em;\"\u003eOur goal is to make strings that sound fuller, feel smoother, and last longer than the other strings on the market. Having a slightly higher price-point enables us to be more selective with which materials make it into your set, and to afford the skilled staff that we need to craft strings that are a cut above the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 600; margin: 0.9em 0 0.2em;\"\u003eDo you really make these strings yourself?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.6em;\"\u003eYes, we make all our strings in our shop in Nashville, TN. We know that many brands do not, but we’ve never wanted to be like the rest of the string brands out there. It’s our mission to make the best strings in the world, and we couldn’t do that unless we could own and master every portion of the process ourselves. We obsess over every single detail of our strings, and we believe that once you install them, you’ll immediately be able to tell the difference a quality string makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"pu-table\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0; border: 0; box-shadow: none; outline: none; background: none; table-layout: fixed; margin: 0 0 0.75em;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 0; padding: 0;\"\u003e\u003cvideo controls=\"controls\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"display: block; width: 100%; max-width: 560px; aspect-ratio: auto 16\/9; border-radius: 8px; background: #000;\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/stringjoy.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/site\/video_Signatures_2_08d66a08cf.mp4#t=0.1\"\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Stringjoy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60235377737809,"sku":"SJ-BAL9","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1835\/7911\/files\/BAL9-01.png?v=1788024367","url":"https:\/\/www.quimpersound.com\/products\/stringjoy-9-42-balanced-super-light-gauge-signatures-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings","provider":"Quimper Sound Records and Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
