About this item

  • New Nylgut strings provide better sound than traditional nylon or PVDF
  • Designed to have excellent player feel and a sweet tone similar to that of genuine gut strings
  • Proprietary composite material absorbs less moisture to assure tuning stability
  • Accurately gauged strings of varying densities provides increased accuracy of fret-intonation
  • Red Series 4th string changes the weight of the material, increasing it to leave the Gauge almost unchanged resulting in a brighter, more powerful sound
  • Hand orientation: ambidextrous

    Broke almost immediately
    The red string broke immediately upon 1st tune behind the bridge. I was able to re-tie a loop. And a week later it cracked at the tuner. Not good.
