Fender Quality

A Name to Depend On

Fender has been the instrument of choice for many of the greatest musicians since 1946. Fender's popularity through the generations is a result of our design and innovations and commitment to quality. These strings reflect this legacy and are worthy of the Fender name.

Fender strings are proudly crafted in the United States of America. Attention to detail and the finest materials ensure that you will get the best feeling and greatest sounding string, set after set.


Factory Fresh

Manufacturing world-class instruments is an art form, and something Fender takes great pride in. However a guitar is only going to sound as good as the strings you put on it. That's why we equip every Fender instrument with Fender strings so it arrives straight from the shop floor to your door optimized for the best possible performance.

Choosing The Right Gauge

String Gauge can play an important role in how efficiently your instrument performs. Typically thicker gauges provide a hotter output, more low-end frequency response, and overall a richer tone.

The gauge also greatly effects the string tension on your guitar which can alter how difficult your guitar is to play. If the tension is too light it can cause tuning stability issues, if it’s too heavy it can make it too difficult to bend notes. A good general rule of thumb is to see what gauge strings your guitar manufacturer placed on the instrument out of the factory and try that first.

It’s also important to note that if you go super-heavy with strings you may have to file your nut for the strings to seat properly. Once this is performed, the guitar will no longer be in optimal condition to move down in gauges. So it is recommended to start on the lighter side and move upward until you find your sweet spot. Scale length of your guitar can also play a large part in string tension and the smaller the scale typically the heavier gauge string you want.

Perfect for Squier Strats of any model
4 Stars
Perfect for Squier Strats of any model
I played both my Squire Bullet and Vibe 60 with the strings they originally came with; both had Fender NPS 9's on them. They were decent enough, but never really much to make me want to buy more sets for my restring.I then changed my mind at the last minute, when theses same strings were on a very good sale price. After restringing both with the new NPS 9's, both guitars sounded like they had just been given a $10,000 upgrade! Worth noting is that during the string replacements, I also cleaned and polished the frets, as well as oiled the fret board. But I suspect the original strings the guitars came with were already a bit beat from wear n tear during their warehouse stay, and also suffered a bit from the shipping process.If you own any of the Squire series guitars, and you're not 100% sure what to go with, give some fresh Fender NPS's a try. I think they're good strings, make that better than average strings for the price!
