Stringjoy Orbiters Balanced Electric Guitar Strings - Super Light Plus | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Stringjoy Orbiters Balanced electric guitar strings are built for players who demand durability, high output, and crisp, shimmering treble response without sacrificing the comfortable, easy-playing feel of a lighter gauge set. Crafted in Nashville from enamel-coated nickel-plated steel wound over an uncoated core, the Orbiters Balanced super-light-plus set delivers exceptional strength and long-lasting playability in a package tuned for both stage and studio performance. If you're ready to move beyond off-the-rack strings, Stringjoy Orbiters are where tone and craftsmanship meet.
Product Overview
The Orbiters Balanced super-light-plus set occupies a distinct position in the Stringjoy lineup — sitting a step above standard super-lights in terms of stiffness and tension, while remaining noticeably flexible and comfortable under the fingers. Gauges run .0095, .013, .016p, .026w, .034, and .046, offering a slightly firmer feel than a traditional 9-42 set without crossing into the heavier resistance of a 10-46. For players who find standard super-lights a touch too loose but full 10s a touch too stiff, this set hits a genuinely useful middle ground.
The Orbiters' defining construction detail is their enamel coating applied over the nickel-plated steel winding, layered atop an uncoated steel core. This approach gives the strings their durability and extended lifespan — the enamel barrier protects the winding from sweat, oils, and debris without the tonal dampening that some fully coated strings introduce. The uncoated core beneath ensures the string's fundamental resonance and responsiveness remain intact.
Tonally, Stringjoy Orbiters deliver a powerful, high-output character with a bright, shimmering top end and the balanced mid and low response the Orbiters line is named for. Proudly crafted in Nashville by a team that has been building custom strings since 2014, every set of Orbiters reflects Stringjoy's commitment to elevating the end sound of your instrument — from the raw materials through to the final wind.
Ideal For
- Electric guitar players seeking a super-light-plus gauge that bridges the gap between 9s and 10s in feel and tension

- Players who prioritize crisp, high-output treble response and shimmer without sacrificing playability or comfort
- Guitarists in Idaho Falls looking to step up from generic string packs to a boutique, Nashville-crafted option
- Touring musicians who want durable electric guitar strings that resist corrosion and maintain their tone night after night
Key Features
Enamel-Coated Winding Over Uncoated Core
Stringjoy's Orbiters use a selective coating approach — enamel applied over the nickel-plated steel winding, layered on top of an uncoated steel core. The enamel barrier protects the winding from the oils, sweat, and debris that deaden strings over time, while the uncoated core preserves the string's natural resonance and responsiveness. The result is durability that doesn't compromise tone.
Super-Light-Plus Gauge for Optimized Tension and Feel
At .0095–.046, the Orbiters Balanced super-light-plus set provides a step up in stiffness and tension from standard 9-42 super-lights, improving intonation stability and giving the strings a more fortified, solid feel under the pick and fingers. Despite the added stiffness, the set remains highly flexible and comfortable — ideal for players who want a little more substance without committing to a full medium-light gauge.
High Output with Shimmering Top-End Tone
Orbiters Balanced strings are voiced for a powerful, bright tonal character — high output with a shimmering, articulate treble presence and a balanced midrange that translates well both live and in recorded contexts. Nickel-plated steel winding contributes warmth and clarity in equal measure, keeping the brightness from tipping into harshness.
Proudly Crafted in Nashville
Every set of Stringjoy Orbiters is built in Nashville by a team dedicated to producing the fullest-sounding, best-performing strings possible. Since founding the world's first true custom string shop in 2014, Stringjoy has built its reputation on going the extra mile at every stage of production — from raw material selection through final winding and packaging.
Designed for Stage and Studio Performance
The combination of extended string life, high output, and balanced tonal response makes Orbiters Balanced strings equally at home in a recording session or a live performance environment. Whether you're chasing a tight studio tone or need strings that hold up under the heat of a long set, these strings are built to deliver.
