Derek Day is the latest artist to endorse Sheptone’s Premium Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings. Day needed a set of strings that were tonally versatile and durable for his self-described “lead, licky, and riffy” electric guitar playing.
“I tend to be quite aggressive when I approach the fretboard. That’s a big part of my tone. I need a set of strings that can really withstand that heavy attack. However, I am constantly trying to find new ways to surprise myself,” said Day. “I feel like Sheptone strings offer that space to be yourself yet grow through experimentation.”

“They are quite silky. You can move around the fretboard pretty easily, but they’re built in a way where you can have that SRV [Stevie Ray Vaughan] attack,” he added.
