Product Description:
Experience the pinnacle of vintage jazz tone and specialized performance with the John Pearse 2920 Pure Nickel Wound Jazz Heavy Electric Guitar Strings. This premium 6-string full set, featuring substantial 13-56 gauges and a critical Long D string (.036XL), is meticulously designed for the discerning electric guitarist who demands a powerful, resonant sound and a perfect fit for specific instrument constructions.

Crafted with high-quality Pure Nickel in a Round Wound configuration over a sturdy Hex Core, the John Pearse 2920 set delivers an unmistakably authentic, dark, and warm tone. Pure Nickel is highly prized by jazz and blues players for its ability to produce a mellow attack, rich harmonic complexity, and excellent sustain, making it the ideal choice for a classic, unadulterated electric guitar voice.

A key distinguishing feature of this set is the extra long D string (.036XL). This extended winding length is essential for certain guitar tailpieces, particularly those found on many archtop jazz guitars, which require additional string length to properly clear the tailpiece and achieve correct seating and tension at the bridge. Combined with the wound 3rd string (.026w), this set ensures superior intonation, enhanced tuning stability, and a perfectly balanced tonal output across all strings for complex chord voicings and articulate lead lines.

The heavy gauges – .013, .017, .026w, .036XL, .046, .056 – provide maximum acoustic projection from your archtop, a thick and commanding electric tone, incredible sustain, and a confident, powerful feel under your fingers. Whether you're playing traditional jazz, bebop, swing, or blues, the John Pearse 2920 Jazz Heavy Pure Nickel strings with Long D will empower your instrument with an unparalleled voice and the perfect fit. Trust in the legendary quality of John Pearse (Breezy Ridge Instruments) for strings that respect tradition and deliver exceptional performance.
