Made in the USA, these strings feature a unique packaging technology that preserves freshness, making them ideal for both novice and seasoned guitarists. ## Description Product description S942 Double Ball Electric Guitar - Extra Light 09-42 La Bella Has Over 400 Years of String Making Experience The tradition of string making dates back to the 1640s in Salle, Italy, where the Mari family supplied gut strings to the famous violin builders of Cremona. In 1913, brothers Olinto & Emilio Mari arrived in New York bringing their family craft to the States. Over the years, the brothers shaped the landscape of the string industry with their innovative designs. Every set is manufactured using a perfect combination of traditional methods and latest technologies to produce a superior string. Developed by La Bella's president Richard Mari Cocco, Jr. with Ned Steinberger, these strings have been manufactured to the exact specifications for Steinberger's revolutionary headless instruments. These particular strings work with original Steinberger guitars featuring the "S"-Trem and "R"-Trem systems. These strings cannot be used in Trans-Trem Transposing Tremolo Systems. Calibrated for the correct length and tension needed for non-transposing Steinberger instruments Stainless Steel Round Wound Tension: Extra Light String Gauges: .009, .011, .016, .024W, .032, .042. Made in the USA with American Wire. Packaged using MAP Technology to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness. Review: High quality, last virtually forever. - Put these on my Steinberger Spirit GT Pro months ago, and they're still bright and zingy. String length is spot on. I've been thinking about switching to 9s, and I'll definitely use the same strings in that gauge. Review: Nice strings - I was using Music Yo 9s for years, just recently made a Spirit my main guitar due to space constraints, and the La Bella 10s are far better. More bendy, nice strong ringing tones. Excellent. One thing, though, is that the end-windings are different lengths on some strings and if you use a longer one at the head it could reach the top fret, so it's not just the string on the fret but the winding itself. Finally, nothing to do with the strings but I saw a recommendation somewhere to replace the Teflon washers on the tuning knobs with ball bearings, and these are great. So easy to turn. Makes a world of difference. https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B082PSL3SG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 ## Features - Excellent Quality and Performance: Developed by La Bella’s president Richard Mari Cocco, Jr. with Ned Steinberger, these strings have been manufactured to the exact specifications for Steinberger’s revolutionary headless instruments. - Double Ball Systems Strings: These particular strings work with original Steinberger guitars featuring the β€œS”-Trem and β€œR”-Trem systems.

I prefer Dean markley Blue steel but 9 through 42 is hard to get these days and of course only one ball but I wound up getting the Jcustom dual mode headpiece so I can use my good strings next time --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15439296-la-bella-s942-double-ball-system-extra-light-stainless-steel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15439296-la-bella-s942-double-ball-system-extra-light-stainless-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
