La Bella Criterion C200TT Electric Guitar Strings, Extra Light 8-38

The La Bella Criterion C200TT takes light gauge to the extreme with an 8-38 set that offers minimal resistance under your fingers. These extra-light nickel-plated steel strings are ideal for vintage-style tremolo systems, players recovering from hand injuries, or anyone who wants the easiest possible playing experience. Bends go for miles and fretting feels nearly effortless.

At this gauge, you get a brighter, more chimey tone with a quick attack. They respond well to delicate picking dynamics and make tapping and pull-offs feel incredibly smooth. The Criterion line keeps these affordable for frequent changes, which is especially handy since lighter strings can lose their brightness a bit faster. A specialty gauge that fills a real need for the right player.
