Product Information
Gibson Vintage Reissue Electric Strings Light 10-46 recreate the original formula developed by Gibson Master Luthiers in the 1950s, offering a direct link to the golden era of electric guitar tone. These uncoated strings feature a hex-shaped, tinned-steel core precision-wound with pure nickel rather than nickel-plated steel, delivering the rounder, fuller voice that defined vintage recordings. Factory-spec at Gibson Custom, this Light gauge set provides clear response and dynamic output across blues, rock, jazz, and beyond.
The hex-shaped tinned steel core maximises durability and volume, while the pure nickel wrap wire produces the warm, authentic Gibson tone without modern coatings that dampen feel or frequency response. Light gauge measures .010, .013, .017p, .026, .036, and .046, balancing playability with tonal clarity. Developed and tested on Gibson electric guitars since the 1950s, these strings retain the uncoated construction that players demand for genuine electric guitar feel. Made in the USA to original specifications.
