La Bella B942 Super Bender Electric Guitar Strings

Description of La Bella B942 Super Bender Electric Guitar Strings

La Bella reissues one of the best-selling electric guitar sets of all time: "The Bender" strings. With the current trend of bringing back vintage style, there is a need for a guitar string that embodies vintage and pays homage to the most widely used string during the most influential decades of rock and roll music.

La Bella dug into its archives to recreate the same string construction used back then. As pioneers of nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings, they used the exact same nickel formula as the original "Bender" guitar string. The result is the most authentic vintage electric guitar string on the market.

Brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari left the family business to seek new opportunities in America. They manufactured gut and steel strings in their small apartment in lower Manhattan. As word spread among area musicians, so did the popularity of their product. A local music store took a liking to the brothers' high-quality, handmade strings and made them an offer to help them expand. Brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari moved to New York and quickly became known for their high quality handmade strings. The strings are produced under the brand names La Preferita, Sweetone, Criterion and New-Tone. The first factory opened in 1914 at 170 Fifth Avenue.

Today, E. & O. Mari/La Bella is still a family-owned and operated company that produces the finest quality strings in the world. La Bella is one of the most respected string manufacturers in the United States and distributes approximately 2000 different string models worldwide for all types of instruments. It manufactures them with the latest technologies to offer strings with the maximum guarantees and reliability.
