SIT Power Groove Pure Nickel Electric Strings 11-50

Description

SIT built Power Groove on the same winding process behind their Power Wound sets, then swapped in a pure nickel cover wrap instead of nickel-plated steel. That softer alloy changes everything under your fingers — the strings feel a touch more supple, intonate cleanly up the neck, and roll off the high end just enough to sound broken-in rather than brittle.

If you’re chasing that vintage growl — think older Fenders and Gibsons with a bit of grit and low-end push — pure nickel wrap is the classic answer, and this set leans into it hard. It’s not the brightest string on the rack on day one, but that’s the point: less zing, more warmth, and a feel that stays consistent as the strings settle in.

This is the .011-.050 gauge, a solid middle ground for players who want some backbone for riffing and chording without fighting stiff strings on bends:

• .011 plain
• .014 plain
• .018P plain
• .028PN wound
• .038PN wound
• .050PN wound

Keep a set or two in the case — pure nickel strings do give up their edge faster than coated or steel-wrapped sets, so having a fresh pack ready means you’re never stuck playing on tired strings when that vintage tone calls.
