Softest electric guitar strings

The softest guitar strings I ever tried were made of yarn on my LEGO guitar when I was 10. But the tone wasn’t to die for. It required a loud record to play along with before it sounded any good.

With the same gauge (for example 10-46) the "pure nickel" really feel easier to bend compare to regular / modern steel strings.
Mine are Pyramids (on one guitar only, a hard tail).

Re: Softest electric guitar strings

Instead of buying softer strings to make it easier, why not use heavier strings to build up finger strength so that when you go back to your normal gauge it's easier? That's why when I feel like I've gotten a song down to perfection, I'll play it on my acoustic to refine it even more.

Softest to the touch I've played are Blue Steels

Re: Softest electric guitar strings

It always seems to me that, assuming same gauge and guitar, Ernie Ball Slinkies are softer than D'Addario XLs which in turn are softer than Rotosounds.

It's been a long time since I used any other brands.

Agree. Pure nickel as opposed to nickel wound steel.
