Cobalt strings interact with your pickups differently than nickel. The magnetic properties of the cobalt alloy are stronger, which translates to more output, better note definition, and a brighter top end that still has body underneath. If you have played nickel wounds your whole life and want to hear what your pickups are actually capable of, these are worth trying.

The 9-42 gauge is the standard starting point for most electric players. Easy bending, comfortable under the fingers, works on most setups without a truss rod adjustment. The cobalt wrap gives you more clarity and punch than a standard 9-42 nickel set without changing the feel.
