Dean Markley Jimi Hendrix Electric Guitar Strings Dean Markley Jimi Hendrix Electric Guitar Strings

After extensive research, DM has developed two types of Jimi Hendrix strings, both of which deliver the string qualities he would look for were he playing today. Markley’s Jimi Hendrix Pure Nickel strings come in four gauged sets, and are based on the type of string Hendrix played in his earlier days. Jimi Hendrix Nickel Plated Steel strings are also available in four gauged sets, and reflect the type of string used by Hendrix later in his career.
