PRS Classic Electric Guitar Strings .009-.042 Super Light 2-Pack | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS Classic Series Electric Guitar Strings deliver the proven tone and reliability that have made them the factory choice on PRS instruments for over three decades. These .009-.042 super light gauge strings offer exceptional flexibility and sustain, making them ideal for players who demand responsive bending and expressive vibrato. Trusted by professionals and endorsed by Paul Reed Smith himself, these nickel-plated steel strings provide balanced output and long-lasting performance for guitarists of all styles.
Product Overview
Each PRS Classic Series string features a high-carbon steel hex core wound with premium nickel-plated steel, creating a foundation for vibrant, long-lasting tone. The proprietary winding process uses computer-controlled precision to ensure consistent tension across all strings, resulting in comfortable playability and excellent intonation. The super light .009-.042 gauge strikes an optimal balance between bendability and tonal warmth, making these strings versatile enough for everything from smooth jazz runs to aggressive rock riffs.
The strings come packaged in corrosion-resistant materials that preserve their fresh-from-the-factory tone until you're ready to string up your guitar. Made in the USA with exacting quality standards, these strings are coiled in convenient pairs (1st & 4th, 2nd & 5th, 3rd & 6th) for efficient installation. This 2-pack provides excellent value for players who restring regularly, ensuring you always have a fresh set ready when you need it.
The nickel-plated construction delivers the classic electric guitar tone that has defined countless recordings and performances. The high-carbon steel core maintains its structural integrity through aggressive bending and extended playing sessions, while the nickel wrap provides smooth finger feel and reduced fret wear. These strings produce balanced frequency response with clear highs, present midrange, and tight low-end definition, making them equally at home in clean jazz settings or high-gain rock environments.

Key Features
Precision-Wound Construction
Computer-controlled winding ensures pinpoint accuracy in the wrap-to-core ratio, creating uniform tension and reliable intonation across the entire fretboard. This precision manufacturing process eliminates inconsistencies that can cause tuning instability or uneven tone response.
High-Carbon Steel Core
The hex-shaped high-carbon steel core provides structural strength and sustain while maintaining flexibility for expressive playing techniques. This core material resists breakage and maintains its tonal characteristics even after extended use.
Nickel-Plated Steel Wrap
Premium nickel plating over steel wrap wire delivers classic electric guitar tone with excellent magnetic response for pickup clarity. The smooth nickel surface reduces finger noise and extends fret life compared to rougher string materials.
