Nick Harper Signature Master Class Strings

Neil — Sun, 27 Nov 2016 10:19:23 +0000

.013.017.024w.040.054.066

Master Class series, Phosphor Bronze handwound over Round cores, featuring unique Core to wrap ratios.

To be tuned a Whole Tone below standard pitch, or lower

“These tunings and gauges are low, round and rich and are the perfect marriage for my voice. They give the overall sound a dark, brooding quality whilst still ‘singing’ and being very playable.
The guitar is tuned to a low ‘B’ in standard tuning, but because I use banjo pegs there are a few tuning I use. Mostly: AEADEA”

Jon Gomm Signature Master Class strings

Neil — Sun, 27 Nov 2016 10:13:52 +0000

Master Class series, Phosphor Bronze handwound over Round cores, featuring unique Core to wrap ratios. To be tuned a Whole Tone below standard pitch, or lower "We (me and the Newtone guys) spent a long time trying different tensions and gauges, until I finally settled on these strings. They are super-heavy, especially for low tunings. I tune my guitar a tone below concert pitch, and quite often much lower than that. This brings out a warmth and character completely different to the usual twangy steel-string guitar tone. Or maybe if your voice has dropped in pitch over time, these strings could be the answer to your prayers! And because of the heavy gauge and low tension (floppyness) I have never broken one of these strings on a gig, ever." If out of stock, back orders take around 14 days

Django Series

Neil — Sun, 27 Nov 2016 10:07:21 +0000

Gypsy Jazz strings.

The Django series strings are designed with the bright jazz sound in mind. Although they were designed with this style of instrument and style of playing in mind, they suit any standard guitar if you are looking for a bright sounding, low tension set. If you are unfamiliar with Silver Plated Copper, it is much softer than PB or Nickel and will not as as long, but it has the unmistakable traditional sound! The gauges are updated for 2026 with many thanks to Remi Harris, Lewis Kilvington, Nuno Marinho & Robin Nolan for the feedback. Available in the following variations: Silver Plated Copper - .010 .014 .022w .028 .036 .046 Phosphor Bronze and Nickel Plated Steel: .010 .14 .022w .028 .036 .046 or .011 .015 .022w .030 .040 .050 Remi Harris Signature set in SPC: .010 .014 .018plain .028w .036 .046 If out of stock, back orders take around 14 days

Lucidity – Electric guitar strings

Neil — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 08:40:56 +0000

"A good word definition should be characterized by its lucidity, or clarity. In other words, it should be clear and easy to understand — like this one. Lucidity comes from the Latin lucidus meaning "light, bright, clear." Certainly when something is light, bright, and clear, it's ripe with the quality of lucidity."

Balanced tension strings with low overall tension.

Optimum Tuning Stability - Supreme Tone - Maximum Playability Utilising all our knowledge as String Craftsmen, we have developed these strings to be the ultimate strings for the Electric guitar. Nickel plated steel is hand wrapped over a Round core with unique core-to-wrap ratios the wound strings perfectly balance with the tension of the carefully chosen plain strings to achieve a perfect balance of tone and feel.

Master Class Electro-Acoustic 6 string

Neil — Sun, 16 Oct 2016 08:54:35 +0000

Availability: made to order, up to 14 days These Electro-Acoustic strings feature a Nickel wound 3rd, whilst the rest of the wound strings are Phosphor Bronze with all being on Round Cores. The advantage of having a Nickel wound 3rd is the improved tonal transition from the Phosphor Bronze to the plain 2nd and 1st strings when strummed. Whilst the Nickel is brighter than Phosphor bronze, it is less so than the plain strings. There for there is a gradual increase in brightness, rather than a jump from the wound to plain strings.
