Why the name “ELE009”?
Wooden Strings ELE009 is named after the string gauge. As with most guitar string manufacturers, 009 in the name indicates the gauge of the thinnest string in the set. Guitar strings are measured in inches, and 009 means that the thinnest string is 9/1000 of an inch thick. By comparison, in a set of 0.010 strings, the thinnest string is 10/1000 of an inch thick. The most commonly used gauges for electric guitar range from 0.008 to 0.013. Thin strings have more treble, while thick strings have more bass – the thicker the strings, the fuller the sound.
Which strings should I choose?
The string gauge a guitarist chooses is highly individual. It depends on personal preference, finger strength, preferred musical genre and playing style. One important consideration when choosing guitar strings is that the thicker the strings, the harder they are to press down cleanly. Beginners are therefore recommended to start with thin strings, such as these 0.009 strings or alternatively 0.010 strings. Once you have played guitar for a while and have a better idea of your preferred playing style and genre, you can experiment with different gauges.
Wooden Strings are packaged in a single recycled paper bag and then in one large cardboard box containing many sets.
