Neil — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 07:59:12 +0000

An acoustic string set which is a hybrid variation of our Archtop and Master Class Double wound sets. They are made with two wraps, under wrap in Nickel Plated Steel and an outer wrap in Phosphor Bronze. They have a warm 'acoustic' tone but with increased magnetic properties to work with magnetic pickups on acoustic guitars. These are the recommended strings my Emerald Guitars for there Virtuo model: https://emeraldguitars.com/models/virtuo/

Becky Langan Signature Master Class Series

Neil — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 12:47:27 +0000

Availability: made to order, up to 14 days "After years of experimenting with many different brands, gauges and tensions, I fell into the habit of alternating between gauge 12-59’s and 13-62’s strings. I found that string companies which allow you to purchase custom hand-made strings are extremely rare, and this is just one of the many reasons why I love Newtone Strings, and why I will never go back to mass-produced strings. I use gauge 12-59 strings when practicing, as this allows me to perform for longer periods of time whilst preventing injury (I’ve suffered from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in the past so I have to be quite careful). During live and studio performances I tend to switch to gauge 13’s so I can achieve a fuller sound. The low E and A string are thicker than your standard 12-52/ 13-56 strings. This creates a warm, powerful, bassy tone, and when combined with the round core, reduces the top end frequencies and adds more mid-range to the strings. This creates a very distinctive tone, which is much nicer than your average steel-string guitar sound." Available in the following gauges:
