Fender American 250L Super 250s Nickel Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings 9-42

Light tension strings with fast attack and clear projection

Fender American 250L Super 250s nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings are designed for players who want easy playability with strong clarity and output. The nickel-plated steel winding delivers brightness and dynamic response while maintaining a smooth feel under the fingers, helping the guitar cut through a mix without sounding brittle. Hex core construction increases attack speed and note definition, making these strings responsive to lighter picking and quick changes in dynamics.

The 9–42 gauge set provides lower overall tension, supporting comfortable bending and reduced fretting effort, which can be especially noticeable during long sessions or expressive lead playing. This lighter feel also encourages a more elastic response, allowing subtle vibrato and touch-based articulation to come through clearly. Traditional ball ends with colour-coded wraps simplify string changes and ensure consistent seating at the bridge. Made in the USA, these strings are built for dependable performance across a wide range of electric guitar styles.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think these strings suit players who value comfort and immediacy, delivering bright, articulate tone with a lighter feel that supports expressive playing and reduced hand fatigue.
