The La Bella HRS-81 Hard Rockin' Steel strings are an 8-string electric guitar set (9-74) designed for extended-range players who need serious low-end reach with standard playability on the upper strings. The 9-74 gauge spread maintains comfortable tension on the treble strings while providing enough mass on the lowest string for clean, defined tone in dropped and standard 8-string tunings.

Nickel-plated steel roundwound construction gives you bright, aggressive tone with punchy attack and good sustain, exactly what progressive metal, djent, and experimental rock demand from extended-range guitars. The HRS series uses a hex core for stability and brightness, ensuring that even the heaviest strings speak with clarity. Handcrafted in La Bella's New York facility, the HRS-81 is a dedicated 8-string set from a company that takes extended-range playing seriously.
