D'Addario Electric Guitar Half Round Stainless Regular Lite, .010 - .046, EHR310

D'Addario EHR310 Half Round Electric Guitar Strings, Regular Light, 10-46

EHR310's combine the universal playability of D'Addario's most popular electric gauge (10-46) with the benefits of an exclusive "Half Round" manufacturing process. 

D'Addario Half Rounds Electric Guitar Strings are round wound with stainless steel and then precision ground leaving the outer surface smooth and "semi flat." The result is a string with the tone and tension characteristics of round wound strings, with a smoother feel, similar to flat wound strings.            

• D'Addario's most popular string gauge with an exclusive semi-flat surface
• Centerless ground stainless steel delivers round wound tension with a flatwound feel
• Environmentally friendly, corrosion resistant packaging for strings that are always fresh
• Made in the U.S.A. for the highest quality and performance
• String Gauges: Plain Steel .010, .013, .017, Stainless Steel .026, .036, .046

Always in search of better string-making materials, D'Addario turned to 400-series magnetic stainless steel in the mid 1970's. Stainless steel wound strings offer even more brilliance than their nickel-plated counterparts, and the alloy is well suited for Half Round and flat wound string constructions.

In 1976, D'Addario developed the Half Round grinding process, which made available "the third kind of string". Each Half Round string starts as an oversized precision round wound string and is centerless ground to a smooth, precise final diameter. With a tone in between their round wound and flat wound peers, D'Addario Half Rounds offer the advantages of a smooth exterior string (reducing finger noise and fret wear) while maintaining some of the brightness of a round wound string.
