After more than a decade of collaboration, Stringjoy has collaborated with guitar virtuoso and frontman of the Bros. Landreth, Joey Landreth, to release the Stringjoy Joey Landreth Artist Signature set.

Stringjoy’s Joey Landreth Signature Set features:
- Gauges: .019 - .022p - .024w - .032 - .044 - .056
- Nickel wound Stringjoy Signatures
- Wound 3rd string
- Ideal for Open C and other dropped or open tunings on a standard scale-length guitar
- Optimal for both slide and fretted/hybrid playing
- As with all Stringjoy offerings, Joey Landreth Signatures are produced at Stringjoy HQ in Nashville, TN, with domestically sourced materials of the highest quality
- Stringjoy Signatures are wound at tension with high compression winds, increasing their output and naturally maximizing durability and lifespan
Stringjoy Joey Landreth Artist Signature strings were born of a decade-long collaboration between Stringjoy’s Scott Marquart and Landreth in which the two sought to formulate the perfect set for Landreth’s use of open tunings and hybrid slide technique.
“Long before anyone was paying attention to what my band was doing or what I was doing as a guitar player, [Stringjoy] were supporters of what we were doing,” says Landreth. “We landed on 56 on the bottom with 19 on top, which supports lower tuning really, really nicely and opens up the possibility for some really clean playing, whether I’m playing slide or fretted. This set has helped me get to the places I want to get as a player, and it also celebrates my friendship and collaboration with Scott [Marquart] and Stringjoy. I’m really proud of it
“I still remember the first time Joey told me he played 19s,” says Stringjoy’s Scott Marquart. “Nineteens!? I couldn’t wrap my head around it. But once I saw his full specs and understood how he plays—and especially after hearing him play in person—it all clicked. Joey and I have spent the better part of the last decade refining this set together, and it represents years of friendship & experimentation. I couldn’t be more proud to have both of our names on it.”
Stringjoy Joey Landreth Artist Signature strings carry a street price of $13.99. For more information visit stringjoy.com.
