Beef Up

So 10s aren’t quite enough for you, is that right? Don’t worry my friend, you’re in good company.

11s are the perfect middle ground—enough tension to get a nice meaty tone out of your guitar, but not so much that you can’t bend at all. Well, the Balanced 11s are just the thing for you then.

The biggest tweak Stringjoy made on these gauges is to go for a slightly heavier 6^th string (a .050) to balance the whole set out better—giving you enough fullness on the bottom to complement the .011-.014-.018p top end.

Overall, this is a powerful but very flexible set that works great for everything from post-rock to praise & worship.
