Stringjoy Strings

Stringjoy Strings are taken care of like a five-star restaurant takes care of a food critic. They started as a custom shop string factory, so they know how to make a quality string. They claim the title of “World’s Finest Strings,” and they do not disappoint. 

Stringjoy has a massive arsenal of string options to fit any player. They have Acoustic, Electric, Bass and more. They pride themselves on 3 things that set their strings apart from others. This article will cover:

Acoustic String Types 

Stringjoy Acoustic Strings have 3 different styles of strings: Naturals, Foxwoods and Brights.  These 3 string types give players the optionality to get any style of string available.  

The Naturals are Phosphor-Bronze strings. These strings have a balanced-tone that gives players a familiar feel. They have 6-string sets ranging from 10/50 to 13/56. They also have 12-string and baritone options for even more variety. Check out available Stringjoy Naturals below:

The Foxwoods are coated phosphor strings. They aim to have the longevity of a coated string without sacrificing the non-coated tone. They are able to achieve this by adding a hard enamel to the outer wrap. They do this while leaving the inner core uncoated. The next section explains how Stringjoy's wrapping process protects the cores.

The Foxwoods have 6-string sets ranging from 10/50 to 13/56. They also have 12-string sets for more variety. Get your next Stringjoy Foxwood set here:

The Stringjoy Bright Acoustic Strings model the 80/20 Phosphor-Bronze guitar strings. 80/20s were the main guitar strings from the 60s. Every album recorded in that time used 80/20 Phosphor-Bronze strings. They modified them to match the winding process used at Stringjoy. The Stringjoy Brights have 6-string sets ranging from 10/50 to 13/56. They also have 12-string sets available. Get your Stringjoy Brights here:

Electric String Types

The Stringjoy Electric Strings come in four different styles. They have the Signatures, Broadways, Orbiters and the Flyers. These strings range from pure nickel to coated. Here is how they work. 

The Signatures are nickel-wound strings designed for any style. They offer a slight-mid hump, which is perfect for electric guitar. The Signatures have 6-string sets ranging from 9/42 to 11/50. They also have 7-string, 8-string, 9-string and 12-string sets to give you any options you need.

The Stringjoy Broadways are pure nickel guitar strings. They have a warmer tone, and they pay homage to the strings of the 50s and 60s. The Broadways come in sizes ranging from 9/40 to 11/46. Check them out below:

The Stringjoy Orbiters are electric coated strings. The coating process matches the Foxwoods. However, they use a nickel-plated steel wrap instead of a phosphor-bronze wrap. They come in sizes from 8/40 to 11/50. Check out your Stringjoy Orbiters below.

The Three Things that Sets Stringjoy Apart

Stringjoy has perfected three key areas to maintain the quality of their strings. They meticulously check the High-Carbon steel core wire. They painstakingly make sure the strings' ball-ends are secured. Finally, they wrap their strings with at least 7,700 turns. 

The High-Carbon steel core requires extreme care to keep the strings sounding pristine. They keep them vacuum sealed to prevent air and oxygen from corroding the cores. The wires have very strict sizing protocols. They often must be within 1/10,000th of an inch of the required size. They also do a final quality check with the spools of wire they receive to make sure you get the perfect set. 

The String Ball-Ends are the next quality assurance step for Stringjoy. The string twists need enough tension to keep the ball-end secured. But, they also make sure that it isn’t twisted too tightly. This can cause the string to break. They have taken great care to train their operators on attaching the ends. Other brands may not take the care Stringjoy takes to make sure the ends are properly secured. They refuse to sacrifice quality for the sake of speed. 

Stringjoy has mastered the string-winding process. Every wound string that has an outer wrap goes through an intricate winding process. This process wraps the string at least 7,700 times. The operator is required to wrap the string in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. This takes tremendous time. But, it is the reason why the Stringjoy strings are top notch.

The Stringjoy strings are some of the best strings on the market. They match the steel-core to the exact specs promised. They make sure every ball-end is tied properly around the strings and wind them with extreme detail. They also have every kind of string a player could want.
