3 for $3 (3 strings for $3)
$3.00
All strings are packed in a corrosion resistant envelope and then packed in a reclosable 4 mil bag.
MGB is pleased to provide 3 string packs. These made in the US strings are available in several popular assortments.
MGB strings are available in two styles, Plain Steel and Nickel Wound. Plain Steel strings are thinner and used in the lower positions on a instrument and create higher pitches. Nickel Wound strings are much thicker and heavier and used on the higher positions on an instrument and create lower pitches. Using a combination of different styles and diameters tuned to different pitches is the goal.
The scale length of the neck is also critical a factor in selecting the correct strings. Scales lengths from 24-25.5 inches are the standard for guitars. We generally make recommendations for scale lengths in that range. If the scale length is longer or shorter, other strings may work better.
Picking the right strings are a personal choice. At MGB we tend to prefer lighter strings like .013, .017 and .026 tuned to GDG.
We offer an assortment of sizes in both styles. We also offer different quantities, you can buy one, three or a dozen strings. We believe our offering provides lots of options for builders. You can pick your favorite strings or do some experimentation with different strings.
MGB's CBG cheat sheet is a valuable tool for better understanding the different pitches we are referring to and can be found HERE.
Having a digital caliper in your toolbox is helpful when you need to identify a string.
