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/

Heritage Series Acoustic 12 String

Neil — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 17:13:26 +0000

Availability: made to order, up to 14 days These strings are designed to have a reduced and virtually equal tension on each string. They are made with Phosphor Bronze wrap on Round cores with unique core-to-wrap ratios, so the gauges which match up with some of our standard sets are not the same at all! There are several advantages of using these strings. Vintage guitars, light braced guitars and people who have problems fretting due to arthritis or tendonitis can use these strings without worrying about twisting or uneven pulling on the bridge. Low tensions also mean ease of fretting.

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
