Here are some of the blues guitar tools I recommend and use in my playing. Click to learn more or buy.
» Elixir Electric Guitar Strings (acoustic also availbable)
These strings last a lot longer and hold their tone too. I switched all my guitars to Elixir strings—electric and acoustic.
-
Electric guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire
-
Played for the same crisp tone as an uncoated string
-
Optiweb Coating provides a natural feel
-
Our coating technology protects against common corrosion and debris buildup, extending tone life longer than any other brand’s coated or uncoated strings (from player survey)
-
Anti-rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set
