La Bella B1046 Electric Guitar String
La Bella is proud to reintroduce “The Bender” strings, one of the best-selling electric guitar string sets of all time.
Given today's trend of capturing the vintage tone, we recognize the need for a guitar string that exemplifies vintage by bringing back the same string played throughout the most influential decades of Rock 'n' Roll music.
During the 1960s and 1970s, La Bella produced "The Bender" strings under the La Bella brand, as well as other string manufacturers and the world's largest guitar manufacturers, making these strings the most played strings on the market.
"The Bender" was featured in Guitar World Magazine's 20th Anniversary Issue, "The 20 Who Mattered", featuring the guitarists and labels who shaped Rock 'n' Roll.
We reached deep into our archives to bring back the wire structure used at that time. As pioneers of nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings, we used the same nickel formula used in the original "Bender" guitar string.
The result is the most authentic vintage electric guitar string on the market!
