Rotosound R9 Rotos Nickel Super Light Electric Strings (.009-.042)

The Rotosound R9 Rotos Nickel Super Light electric guitar strings are a long-standing favourite for players who want easy playability without sacrificing tone. With their light .009–.042 gauge, these strings feel fast and flexible under the fingers, making bends smoother, vibrato easier and long playing sessions far more comfortable.

Built with a nickel-plated steel wrap, the R9s deliver a bright, lively top end balanced by a warm, punchy midrange that works beautifully across clean and driven tones. They’ve got that unmistakable Rotosound character — clear, responsive and dynamic — whether you’re strumming chords, digging into bluesy leads or running through classic rock riffs.

Super light strings are ideal for players with a lighter touch, beginners developing technique, or anyone chasing that slick, low-tension feel. They’re also a great choice for tremolo-equipped guitars, where reduced string tension helps keep things feeling smooth and controllable.

Rotosound strings have been trusted by generations of guitarists, and the R9 set is one we often suggest in Musicmaker when players want a comfortable, familiar-feeling string that still sounds bold and musical. Simple, reliable and great value, they’re an easy win for everyday playing.
