The handmade Thomastik-Infeld strings from Vienna offer a very balanced sound – from string to string and from octave to octave – and support the signature sound of the Rickenbacker 12 string guitar.
Due to their special winding materials there are no more squeaks when gliding up and down the fingerboard and they are also extremely durable.
The tension measurement is based on a scale length of 25.5" (648 mm).
