Cleartone Coated Phosphor-Bronze Ultra Light Acoustic Guitar Strings

The strings are great ,they are good to the touch. I had played electric guitars for many years but now at my age I am a couch player with a flat top the strings sound great, keep up the good work.

These strings are very bright when first installed but the sound went dull after a couple of months of playing. Fingers started turning black after playing. I was optimistic about the treated string as apposed to the coated string but am disappointed. I decided to give these a try but prefer Elixirs since they sounded good and lasted much longer.

No contest. I have been pickin guitar since 1967- by far Cleartone the finest string I ever used.

I was changing phosphor bronze strings once a week because I liked the tone out of the box but they would get dull sounding within the week. I went to Elixir Nanoweb strings and they would last three weeks but it took them three to four days to set in and start sounding the way I liked. The Clear Tone strings gave me the sound I was looking for out of the box but they got better as the day progressed. I found the 11's gave me the tone and playability I wanted out of my dreadnaught but my Jumbo needed 12's to get the booming base I was used to. I can use a lighter touch while finger picking and get a loud clean sound from the CT's. The CT's do turn the ends of my fingers black after an hour of playing and that has never happened with the Elixir's. I put a set on my old Humingbird with the disastrous metal "Tune-O-Matic" bridge and the guitar tone came back from the dead. The Bird has a nice bright tone on top with a cool sounding base tone. I was going to replace the bridge with a synthetic but now I'm going to leave it alone. I am very happy with the Clear Tones even though they are a couple of dollars more per pack than the Nanoweb's. As with any change to your guitar set-up you may have to try a couple of sizes to get the tone you are wanting but that is true of any brand. Going too light on the string sizes without a torsion bar adjustment can be a disaster.

I went to Sam Ash one day and asked for the best strings they had. Although that's not necessarily the smartest move, seeing as a good salesman would sell you the most expensive product; I bought these without hesitation and put them on my Epi Masterbilt AJ-500R, beautitul guitar by the way, and the sound was amazing. They lasted a long time and the sound they produced was increadible. My friend convinced me to try some kind of Elixer strings and when I put them on they were extremely tinny and just awful. These strings are worth the price. I've haven't been playing too long, only about 5 or 6 years, but I'm very picky about the sound of my guitars and these strings get me the sound I want.

I go these strings because I saw them as an ad in a guitar player magazine so i figured why not I put them on my acoustic squier which sounded really tinny with the standard strings so I put them on and my squier sounds like a million bucks! Anyways I recomend these strings to anyone and they last forever that is no joke my squier no longer sounds tinny. Buy these strings and you will be happy any one who calls these strings **** are crazy
