Stringjoy SJ-BR Broadways Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Evoke classic electric guitar sounds with Stringjoy Broadways. Their all-nickel composition makes for warm, full-bodied vintage tone.

What's better than a classic? A classic made even better. What, you don't think that's possible? Well then let String Joy present to you Exhibit "A" Stringjoy's Broadway Classic Light Gauge set.

If you've ever played Pure Nickel strings before, these strings have even more nickel in them than the strings you've played in the past. That means more of that rich, full tonal character. It also means more flexibility, since the round core is thinner than it is in other sets. But these don't sacrifice when it comes to strength or durability either, and they hold tune with the best of 'em.

In my book, that's a win-win-win. A trifecta. A triple crown. Needless to say, if you're an electric guitar player with a pulse, I think you're going to like this set...

What should you expect from Stringjoy signatures?
- Present, focused tone that brings out the true voice of your guitar and the details of your playing style.
- Modern, reconstructed gauges aimed at balancing the tension, tone, and feel of the strings across the fretboard.
- High-mass winding, leading to higher output, fuller tone, and improved longevity.

Stringjoy Signatures electric guitar strings are made by a small team in Nashville, TN, USA, out of all-American materials: their top quality Nickel-Plated Steel, wound around a high-carbon hexagonal steel core wire.

The combination of better materials and more careful craftsmanship creates a more natural-sounding, longer lasting string, without the tone-deadening effects of… read more string coatings.

Stringjoy's known for quality control. Their strings are wound in small batches, and Stringjoy uses real human beings at every step of the process: the winding, the coiling, the packing, you name it.

Every string is inspected individually before it goes into your set. If anything is wrong with a string, from the way it's secured around the ball end, through the entire winding, it doesn't make the cut.

What does all that mean for you?
- Better tuning stability for the life of the string
- Longer string life and less breakage, when cared for properly
- Smoother, more balanced playability across the neck of the guitar

Features:

- Nickel-Plated Steel, wound around a high-carbon hexagonal steel core wire.

I have been a serious hobbyist, semi-professional guitarist for about 40 years, performing live and recording with . I tried Stringjoy strings for the first time about 6 yrs ago. Since then, and because I had a pretty good supply of other brands in the gauges I use on various scale length guitars, I had been back and forth, going from Stringjoy to other major brands intermittently. This game me a chance to A/B them on a pretty regular basis. The other ones would be on sale and I would grab some, but always went back to the stringy when preparing for a project, or when I wanted to get back to the best “feel.” Here’s the deal, they cost a little more than the major brands’ “regular” string. They don’t cost more than the other brands’ premium strings anymore, because those prices have all gone up. Stringjoys cost less than other boutique strings and they are are better than all of them. They are more balanced in volume and tone, and I play the pure nickel, round core Broadways for vintage tone and easy bending. I settled some time ago on 10’s for my shorter scale guitars, and 9.5’s for my Fender-type builds. Stringjoys also sound and feel great for longer, so I don’t change strings as often. Since they have a custom option, I choose the gauges I want for each string, depending on the tuning I am going to use and I put them on my lap steel in custom gauges, too. I see recently that my friends who gig and do session work regularly in Nashville are using Stringjoy… read more pretty ubiquitously, as well. They are all I use now and you will not be disappointed if you give them a try!
