Product Description

Here's what Stringjoy say about the Broadways Heavy Bottom Light 9-46 Gauge Strings:

At Stringjoy, gauges are like our children. We love them all equally. But, like Orwell said, some are more equal than others. Our Heavy Bottom Super Light Broadways are some of the most equal of all of them.

The incredible flexibility of our Broadway wounds means that this set gives you loads of playability, and full, warm tonality. We’d recommend it to anyone, so if you’re reading this, then we’d definitely recommend them to you.

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.

Vintage Style strings

Much like the famed Nashville street from which these get their name, our Broadways are steeped in tradition, but have undergone a major facelift.

So, I purchased dozens of sets of strings from the 1950s and 1960s and took them apart to study the ratios and winding techniques used to make them. After researching as many strings as I could get my hands on, I went about carefully reproducing them in every way on our equipment, and finally strung up the first set on a guitar.

And guess what? They sounded terrible. None of that vintage warmth was present, they were super tinny—and stiff as all get out.

Turns out, there was no golden age of strings. Manufacturers back then used as thick of core wire as possible, and as thin of wrap wire as possible, in order to keep costs low (steel core is relatively cheap, but pure nickel wrap wire is super expensive). This lead to a stiff, thin sounding string.

So I went back to the drawing board and set out to make a set of strings that sounded and played the way I had expected from the vintage strings. This meant going the opposite direction—using a strong but thin steel core a ton of pure nickel wrap wire, and compressing the wrap wire with twice as much force as normal in order to get as much nickel as possible on each gauge.

And after another several months of testing, I landed on the perfect recipe and our Broadways were born. They have tons of warmth, but don’t sacrifice high-end presence. They’re super flexible, but hold tune like nobody’s business. Without a doubt, these are my favorite strings I have created thus far.
