ThomastikRP110 Power-Brights Heavy Bottom Medium-Light Electric Guitar Strings
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Heavy-bottom electric guitar strings from Thomastik with light top wires. For players who want a slinky bend on top and a firm low end for riffs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drop-tuned riffing where standard sets go floppy on the low strings
- Players who bend the top three strings hard but want tight lows
- Rhythm-and-lead work on one guitar without changing gauges
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting uniform tension across all six strings
- Anyone on a budget — these cost several times a standard set
- Acoustic, classical or bass players; these are electric-only

Electric guitar strings
Steel-based and magnetic, so they drive electric pickups. They will not work on nylon-string instruments.
Detail 05
$32.95 per set

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my guitar without a setup?
If you are coming from a standard light set, the thicker low strings add tension and may need truss rod and intonation tweaks. Nut slots may also need widening.
02What does heavy bottom mean?
The three low strings use heavier gauges than the three high ones. You get a firmer low end for riffing while the treble strings stay easy to bend.
03Are these good for drop tunings?
The thicker low strings hold tension better when you drop the low E, so they stay tighter than a standard set at the same tuning.
04Can I use these on an acoustic guitar?
These are electric guitar strings. They will sound thin and quiet acoustically since they are voiced for magnetic pickups, not for driving a soundboard.
