The strings feel easy to bend, comfortable for faster playing, and lighter under the fingers than a heavier 10-46 or 11-49 set. If you play lead guitar, practise a lot of bends, or just prefer a softer feel, this is a sensible set to keep in your case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey are nickel electric guitar strings, giving you a familiar bright, balanced tone that works well across most common electric guitar styles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat Do They Actually Feel Like?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA 9-42 set feels light and flexible.
