ForewardWhether you are a luthier, a repair tech, or someone looking to find your “ideal” set for your electric guitar, string tension will play a role. It is with this in mind that we at GHS have put together our String Tension Guide for Electric Guitar, as a resource to help you find the information you are looking for to help you in whatever role you fall.
PLEASE NOTE: This guide as a reference of the tension of our strings at various pitches. Please use caution when making sets that have extremely high tensions, as the set as a whole may put undue stress on the neck, as well as snap the core of the strings prematurely.

Frequency ChartThe chart below represents the frequency or pitch of each note, as it relates to the guitar fretboard. Standard tunings are shown in bold type; use the additional frequencies to calculate tension for strings when using altered tunings.
UW UNIT WEIGHT: The weight of the string, measured in pounds per linear inch (lb/in).L SCALE LENGTH: The vibrating length of a string. Measure the distance from the nut to the bridge of the instrument to find the scale length. GHS has used the 25.5” scale length (typical for Fender) in the enclosed guide. Your individual instrument may vary.F FREQUENCY or PITCH: The specific pitch at which each note is expressed, represented in cycles per second (Hertz).
To calculate the tension of a particular string in pounds, use the formula below, inserting the three needed variables.
How to Calculate TensionString tension is the amount of force a string has when tuned to a specific pitch. To find out the tension of a particular string, you need three variables: the Unit Weight, the Scale Length, and the Frequency or Pitch of the string you will be using. This guide provides you with a comprehensive list of all our current electric guitar strings, listed in singles and pre-packaged sets. The formulas used are the industry standard, and can be used to approximate other string tensions.
For those that prefer to use altered or down tunings, we present our tension guide in such a way as to help you choose the ideal set of strings for your application.
For those looking for a specific tension, you can use the formula below to get the unit weight for your particular needs. With that, compare the unit weight against the ones listed in the following pages to find the string gauge that meets your needs.
T (Tension) = (UW x (2 x L x F)2) / 386.4
UW (Unit Weight) = (T x 386.4) / (2 x L x F)2

String Construction - At A GlanceThe biggest thing to understand is that the “tension” of a string is not the same as the “feel” of the string under your fingers. String tension plays a part, but there are a number of other factors involved as well.
We’ve created these “at a glance” icons for you to quickly see/understand how our strings are made, and what makes each one unique.
Winding Techniques: There are four types of winding techniques used for strings. The type providing the brightest tone (all else being equal) is the roundwound string. Next is the rollerwound, followed by the groundwound (also called a halfwound) and finally a flatwound.
String Geometry: “String Geometry” refers to the ratio of the core wire diameter to the cover wire diameter. These two parameters are used to come up with the final string gauge.
A string with a thin core will have a small core-to-cover ratio, resulting in greater flexibility and a brighter tone.
A string with a thick core will have a larger core-to-cover ratio, which gives a stiffer feel with a beefier tone and sustain.
String Materials: The hardness of common materials used in the cover wire of strings affects both the tone and “feel” of a string. Usually, with all else remaining constant, the harder the material the brighter the string. Common cover wire materials include (ranked by order of brightness) stainless steel, Alloy 52, nickel plated steel, pure nickel, and for acoustics, brass and bronze
String Lengths: Unless otherwise mentioned, all of our strings are made to the winding lengths listed below: Plain Steel - 42” overall length Wound Strings - 38” winding length (ball to taper), 40” overall length

This tension guide is just that; a guide. You’re the expert at your own personal playing style and needs, so if something doesn’t feel/sound right, you can change it. Music is a very organic art form, so while you can start with science, you perfect it by touch and feel.
If you’re perfectly happy with playing a pre-packaged set of strings, GREAT!
If you’re excited about putting together that balanced tension set, GREAT!
If you want to try a set with less/more tension than what you’re used to, GREAT!
You’re playing. You’re learning. That’s the important part. We’ll provide the strings; you provide the inspiration.
