Power and Flexibility – The Stringjoy Signatures Nickel-Wound Balanced Electric Guitar Strings – Medium Gauge (.011–.050)

So 10s aren’t quite enough for you, is that right? Don’t worry my friend, you’re in good company.

• Balanced Medium Gauge (.011–.050)
• Nickel wound construction
• .050 sixth string for enhanced low-end balance
• Balanced tension across plain and wound strings
• Versatile feel for multiple playing styles

11s are the perfect middle ground—enough tension to get a nice meaty tone out of your guitar, but not so much that you can’t bend at all. Well, Stringjoy Balanced 11s are just the thing for you then.

The biggest tweak on these gauges is a slightly heavier 6th string (a .050) to balance the whole set out better—giving you enough fullness on the bottom to complement the .011-.014-.018p top end.

Overall, this is a powerful but very flexible set that works great for everything from post-rock to praise and worship.
