Orphee Electric RX15 Guitar String (6 Strings)

Easy-playing, bright-sounding strings for your electric guitar. The Orphee Electric RX15 is a full 6-string set in a light 9-42 gauge. Orphee rates it thin, soft and bright, and made with beginners in mind.

Why customers choose it

• Soft on the fingers: the light 0.009-0.042 inch set needs less finger pressure, so chords and bends are easier when you are learning.
• Bright, clear tone: the plain 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings use carbon steel with good tension.
• Smooth and long-lasting: the plain strings are polished and then cleaned to stop local oxidation, which extends their life and keeps a bright look and smooth feel.
• Protected wound strings: the 4th, 5th and 6th strings have a hexagonal carbon steel core with a plated 410F outer wire, polished, passivated and given an ultra-thin single-layer nano coating against rust.
• Even tension: Orphee uses precise tension testing so the core and wrap work together for an even resonance.
• Durable ball ends: metal ball ends with a colour-plated protective film resist rust.

Who it is for

Beginners and students on their first electric guitar, players who like a light, slinky feel, and anyone who wants a bright-sounding everyday set for practice at home or in class.
