Acoustics however have set of 11s or 12s on them but manufacturers make lighter gauge strings for them as well. So you can use any gauge you like but the most important thing is how a guitar is setup for that particular set of strings so you don't have tuning issues. **Q: Does the string comes with the above mentioned gauge** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product. *by on Reviewed in India 3 July 2026* Good product. Long lasting strings. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extra charge, let delivery. *by on Reviewed in India 27 May 2026* String is good, ond day delivery is too much let. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only for Djent/Metal Players *by on Reviewed in India 8 June 2020* I've been using Ernie-ball strings since many years,tried different gauges. Recently moved to heavy djent stuffs,so I gave these strings a try.PACKAGING : 10/10 packing. The strings were just as new and shiny.TONE : Firstly first,I low-tuned the strings to Drop C,and holla!! It's sick! My guitar has humbucker pickups,and tbh,only these strings has made that dirty heavy metal tone. Great lows. The high strings are good as well,for clean. Won't recommend for shredding,as they are too thick. I prefer super slinky for that. Highs are not that screamy and thangy.COMFORT : The lows behave very well,even when on super low tunings. I won't recommend these for newbies and intermediate players as well,as they are quite thick. My hands get tired more often than while using other strings. Not good for tapping. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 10-46 Gauge (P02221) - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Strings - 80/20 Bronze - For 6 String Guitars - Deep, Bright, Projecting Tone - EJ11 - Light, 12-53 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/64728657-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/64728657-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
