Guitar Strings Used by Famous Bands

All Artists at Strings and Beyond

Every guitarist has certain strings and accessories they trust — including the biggest musicians in the world. By knowing what strings famous guitarists use, you’ll feel more connected to the music that has changed your life. On our artist pages, we reveal what the best-known bands and solo artists use on their instruments and how it helps them create their recognizable sound. We also have some fun facts about the history of each band, how they became so huge and the factors in their musical development.

Do you want to capture the bluesy soul of Joe Satriani? The thrashing abandon of Kirk Hammett? The mysterious blackness of Sleep Token? What about the 21^st-century twang of Kacey Musgraves? The right guitar strings are a great start. You’ll still need to practice, of course, but you’ll look forward to it even more when you own the same types of guitar strings that were used to win Grammys, record platinum albums and thrill millions of worldwide fans. For that matter, you can own the same string winding tools, cables, polishing cloths and other supplies.
