The 10-38 guitar string gauging which are 10-13-15-26w-32-38 are also considered to be the “Jimi” gauges. There are many players who believe that Jimi Hendrix used these gauges for his guitar strings. This guitar string set is also available in pure nickel with hex-core and round core.

Nickel wound guitar strings have a very balanced tonal response with sparkling highs, clear mid-range and defined bass. These guitar strings are available in many gauges as single strings and you can also build your own custom gauge nickel guitar string sets with you own perfect balanced tension.

My Kinda String
10/38 or the best strings for floating tremolo systems.. I get the great lead sound with the 10's as the high strings and great squeals with the 38's as the low strings.. These strings have great balance.. Many guitar players believe that the thicker the string the thicker the sound.. Not necessarily true when using the right amp for the right tone you are looking for! Please don't stop making this set! www.chillfactorsa.com

Full Tone with a Solid Bottom
I preferred a lighter bottom string than most players. The .38 reduced the tension on the neck and softened the pull a bit. It was difficult finding the 10-38 gauge, until Blues Angel Music in Pensacola turned me on to Curt Mangan. I tried a set and was very impressed with the tone and quality. They lasted longer, stayed stronger and sounded more...I don't know how to describe this....more a part of the guitar. It was like the guitar and the strings were working together again. If your searching for the best tone and sustainability, start with these strings.
