NAMM 2019: Electro-Harmonix Launches Line of Guitar Strings
EHX has made its way into the guitar string business for the first time.
Electro-Harmonix has launched its own line of guitar strings at this year's NAMM show.
Made in the United States “by a premiere string manufacturer," the packs feature wound strings that have been precision-wrapped with round nickel-played steel onto a high-carbon hexagon-shaped steel core. The plain strings, in the mean time, are made from the same high-carbon steel as the hex cores.
The new strings are available in three different sets: Super Light (09-42), Regular Light (10-46) and Medium (11-48.) The ball ends are color-coded to make it easy to identify each string.
The price of the string sets has not yet been announced.
