Description

Papa Het’s Hardwired Master Cores Signature Electric Guitar Strings have been co-developed with James Hetfield over the course of a decade to withstand the intensity of Metallica level riffing. Built around his preferred 11 to 50 gauge set with a heavier core to wrap ratio, these strings deliver a thicker, more authoritative sound with rock solid tuning stability, even under aggressive picking and heavy downstrokes.
Combining Paradigm ultra high strength core wire with plasma enhanced nickel plated steel wrap, this signature set is engineered for power, consistency and durability. Plain strings are reinforced with brass RPS at the ball end to resist breakage and help your guitar stay in tune for longer, making them a serious choice for players who hit hard and demand reliability on stage and in the studio.

Hardwired for Heavy Riffing
James Hetfield’s 11 to 50 gauge choice offers a tight, controlled feel that is perfect for palm muted chugs, fast alternate picking and big, sustained chords. The heavier overall tension supports lower tunings and aggressive right hand technique, while still remaining playable for leads and bends.

Thicker Tone with Extra Punch
The increased core to wrap ratio and plasma enhanced nickel plated steel wrap wire produce a noticeably thicker, weightier sound. Expect a bold low end, firm mids and a clear, cutting top that helps complex riffs and fast runs stay defined in a dense mix.

Paradigm Strength and Stability
Using Paradigm core wire throughout, these strings are designed to handle hard playing night after night. The ultra high strength tin plated steel hex cores and brass RPS reinforcement on the plain strings provide added resistance to breakage and improved tuning stability, so you can focus on your performance rather than constant retuning.

Unique Signature Gauge Set
This never before offered 11, 14, 18, 28, 38, 50 combination is tailored specifically to James Hetfield’s feel and response requirements. The carefully balanced progression across the set gives a consistent tension and touch from string to string, ideal for tight rhythm work and precise, articulate playing.

Key Features
Thicker, Heavier Sound – The 11 to 50 gauge set with a heavier core to wrap ratio delivers a bold, muscular tone with strong lows and focused mids, ideal for metal rhythm work and high gain tones that need definition and authority.
Enhanced Pitch Stability – Paradigm core wire and brass RPS reinforcement at the ball end help the strings hold tuning more reliably, even under heavy picking, wide bends and repeated retuning during a set.
Paradigm Plasma Enhanced Wound Strings – Wound strings use Paradigm plasma enhanced nickel plated steel around ultra high strength tin plated steel hex cores, offering a responsive feel, bright yet controlled attack and improved durability.
James Hetfield Signature Gauge Combination – The unique 11, 14, 18, 28, 38, 50 gauge spread is the result of years of collaboration with James Hetfield, giving players access to his preferred balance of tension, tone and playability.
