Lets make it easy to get the right tension and feel for your guitar.
Rosco Custom Strings are selected by your scale length and tuning, so you’re not stuck guessing, calculating or mixing sets. Each set has been engineered to feel balanced, sound great, and keep it simple.
Butter smooth highs. Tight, focused lows.
Whether you're in Drop F# or E standard, you will get the same tension and feel.
No harsh highs, no floppy lows. Just consistent sets that play clean, feel right, and helps reduce fret buzz and other issues across the neck.
There's no secret. We just aim for the same tension in every pack.
As strings get thinner, you naturally want less tension.
Otherwise, they feel stiff, sharp, and hard to control.
Lighter strings are more sensitive to changes in tension, so dialing them in properly is key to a balanced feel across the whole set.
That’s why we aim for slightly lower tension on the plain strings compared to the wound ones.
It just plays better.
Why don’t the big companies do this?
That’s the question we kept asking. We build our string sets based on your guitar’s scale length because tension, feel, and tone all depend on it. It seems obvious, but most string packs are one-size-fits-none. Why? Honestly, it’s tradition. The way strings are packaged today hasn’t changed much in decades. It was passed down from the early days of mass production when choices were limited and standardization was more about shelf space than playability. We think it's time for a smarter, player-focused approach. This isn’t rocket science. It’s just finally applying real logic to something guitarists have struggled with forever.
