Product Description

Here's what Stringjoy says about the Balanced Super Light 09-42 Strings:

So these might look like a typical set of 9s (or Super Lights, or Extra Lights—everyone seems to call ‘em something different…), but trust me, they’re not.

The standard for 9s is typically 9-11-16-24-32-42, and while the gauges on the bottom end are solid, the top is all kinds of messed up. Why some other companies make them that way, I honestly couldn’t tell you—but never fear! We’ve fixed all that for you.

See, the issue on most sets is that the .011 has far too little tension to balance with the .009 and the .016 has far too much tension. So, with our Balanced 9s we fix all that by using a .012 and a .015 instead.

The result is a set of strings that plays evenly across the entire fretboard and intonates better when set up properly. If you’re typically a 9s player, these are definitely the way to go.

Only average for looks as, well, they’re guitar strings! Overall they’re good strings. Pretty close to Ernie Balls but maybe slightly lacking that initial ‘zing’ that you get from brand new super slinkys.

The high E string sounds a little numb and the tuning of yhe whole set is more difficult than a .10 set of strings. So I doubt if I wouldbuy yhus .009 set again.
