Made in the USA, these strings can be called the best in the world. Though its placed in a higher price bracket, the durability and sound can justify it. Available in Multiple Gauges.


These recommendations are based on our experience with an intermediate level Guitar. The String set will sound different across Different tonal woods and also depending on how Dry or Moist the climate around you is.  From this list you might find a best string for practice and another one best for Recording. The Best way to find out is to experiment with these Models and decide what's sounding best on your particular Guitar. However when you do experiment, do stick to one particular Gauge (0.11 for example)
