Rotosound Ultramag Type 52 Electric Guitar Strings - Super Light .009-.042 (2-Pack) | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Rotosound Ultramag electric guitar strings bring aerospace-grade materials to your fretboard, delivering a strong output with pronounced mid and low frequencies that drive both lead lines and heavy rhythm playing. The Type 52 alloy formula — a 52% nickel, 48% iron blend originally developed for aerospace applications — offers exceptional magnetic properties, pitch stability, and corrosion resistance that keep your tone sounding fresh longer than standard nickel strings. This two-pack is a smart buy for players who go through strings regularly and refuse to compromise on tone or tuning performance.
Product Overview
Rotosound's Ultramag strings are wound with Type 52 alloy, a material specification engineered to perform under extreme conditions. The high nickel content produces a warm, full-bodied tone with accentuated midrange and a firm low-end presence — a tonal character that works especially well for rock, metal, and blues players who need their guitar to cut through a full band mix with authority.
The alloy's enhanced magnetic properties result in stronger pickup output compared to standard nickel-wound strings, giving your signal more presence and punch straight from the guitar without relying on extra boost from your amp or effects chain. Rotosound's round wound construction ensures rich harmonic content and a familiar, expressive feel under the fingers.
Type 52 alloy also carries natural corrosion-resistant properties, extending the playable life of the strings without the need for a separate coating. This two-pack in Super Light gauge (.009–.042) offers comfortable tension ideal for players who bend frequently, favor fast lead work, or simply prefer a lighter feel across the entire fretboard.
Ideal For
- Rock and metal guitarists seeking electric guitar strings with powerful output and accentuated midrange character
- Lead players who rely on frequent string bending and need super light gauge strings that respond quickly
- Heavy rhythm players looking for pronounced low-frequency response and pitch stability under aggressive playing conditions
- Guitarists searching for long-lasting nickel electric guitar strings that resist corrosion without a coating
- Value-conscious players who want a reliable two-pack of performance strings at an accessible price point
Key Features
Type 52 Aerospace Alloy Winding
Rotosound winds Ultramag strings with a 52% nickel / 48% iron alloy developed for aerospace applications, where performance under extreme conditions is non-negotiable. This translates to exceptional pitch stability, strong magnetic output, and a tonal character that emphasizes mids and lows for a powerful, full-sounding guitar signal.
Accentuated Mids and Low Frequencies
The Type 52 alloy formula naturally accentuates the midrange and lower frequencies, making these strings particularly effective for players who want their guitar to sit prominently in a band mix. Lead lines gain presence and weight, while rhythm playing delivers the drive and thickness that heavier styles demand.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction
The inherent corrosion resistance of Type 52 alloy means these strings maintain their tone and integrity over extended playing time without requiring a coating. Players get a natural string feel and consistent sonic performance that holds up through sweat, humidity, and heavy use.
High Magnetic Output
The elevated nickel content in Type 52 alloy produces a stronger magnetic field interaction with guitar pickups, resulting in higher output and a more dynamic response. This makes Ultramag strings a particularly good match for humbuckers and high-output single coils.
Super Light Gauge (.009–.042)
This gauge is a go-to for lead-focused players who need easy bending and fast fretting response. The lighter tension across the neck also makes this set comfortable for extended practice and performance sessions.
