These Cleartone acoustic strings feature the finest phosphor bronze available for the warmest and brightest resonance on acoustic guitars. A unique treatment called EMP coats the entire string with an ultrathin protective film. It's the thinnest coating ever applied to guitar strings (less than one micron) and will withstand more abuse from hard strumming than coatings 1,000 times thicker. EMP ensures longer string life by protecting strings from corrosion due to skin acidity, salt and moisture without compromising feel and sound.

Super-high tension winding over a hex-core is used to maintain tuning consistency throughout performance duration.

TONE THAT SINGS AND LASTS!

I have bought these strings and even given them away as gifts, because they are a true value. They last a long time and they sing so sweetly even on an inexpensive acoustic guitar. They are extremely warm in tone and I recommend them strongly.

Initial tone does last.

The original tone of the strings sound like a 2-hour played set of standard phosphor-bronze on my Taylor - warm and not too bright. Felt like a set of uncoated strings - also had that same uncoated string noise from both my pick and from sliding down the fretboard. Played a rehearsal and two gigs the next day. I wiped them down each time before I close my case. Pulled the guitar out the day after that - dead strings. Low E and A string just thudded, no ring at all. They still looked nice, bright and shiny, with no discoloration at all, but just sounded dead. Compared to another brand of nano-coated string that I can get weeks of playing out of, I'll definitely go with those other strings. I personally will not recommend these strings to anyone.

    I tried these out, since they were in a clearance bin. He high E string broke while being installed. Can't trust these on a guitar being used to play out. The tone wasn't anything special either. No wonder these were in the clearance bin.

    Cleartone 7411's came with my new Epiphone Masterbilt DR 500 MCE accoustic guitar. They are much louder than most strings. The tone is very rich, the lows are more prounounced and pleasing, chords are strong, and single notes are very singy. Open chords ring clear, and sound really nice. I would highly recommend these stings. In fact I bought a cheaper pair of D Adarrio at a local music store and noticed the difference. They were dull, quiet, lifeless. I suspect that these strings may be in the top 5 best strings on the market. I'm very satisfied with them.

    I use these strings on my Gibson FJN Jumbo. Best I have found yet for it. Great sound and lots of Oomph to go with it. I'm sold on these strings.
