Product Description:
Step up your tone with the John Pearse 2700 Nickel Wound Jazz Medium Electric Guitar Strings. This premium 6-string full set, with gauges 12-52, is meticulously crafted for electric guitarists, particularly jazz musicians, who demand a rich, full-bodied sound with outstanding projection and sustain. These "Jazz Medium" strings provide the robust feel and sonic depth that defines classic electric jazz guitar.
Constructed from Nickel Plated Steel in a Round Wound configuration over a sturdy Hex Core, the John Pearse 2700 set delivers a warm, articulate, and dark tone with a smooth attack. The nickel plating ensures a comfortable playing experience, reduces finger noise, and provides excellent corrosion resistance for extended string life and consistent tonal quality.
A critical feature for jazz players is the wound 3rd string (.024w). This design choice significantly improves intonation across the fretboard, enhances tuning stability, and creates a more balanced and cohesive tonal output when playing complex chords or single-note lines. The heavier gauges – .012, .016, .024w, .032, .042, .052 – contribute to a powerful fundamental tone, increased volume, and superb sustain, making them ideal for both hollow-body and solid-body electric guitars.
Whether you're exploring bebop, swing, or modern jazz compositions, the John Pearse 2700 Jazz Medium strings will empower your playing with a voice that is both commanding and nuanced. Trust in the legacy of John Pearse (Breezy Ridge Instruments) for strings that deliver unparalleled performance and classic tone.
