Cleartone EQ s are the first Acoustic Guitar Strings that blend a variety of metals into a single set to highlight your guitar s frequency response. Designed to mimic a perfect EQ setting , each wound string utilizes a different alloy to enhance that string s natural frequencies. These strings begin with a 99% copper-bronze for the Low E to increase bass response. Phosphor Bronze is used on the A D string to accentuate the mid range while maintaining a robust low and high end. Cleartone selected 80/20 for the G string because of its bright characteristics and ability to cut through the mix. Put together, Cleartone EQ s produce an exquisitely balanced tone that mimics a perfect EQ setting by combining all the best characteristics of Phosphor bronze, 80/20, and Copper-bronze into a single set. A world FIRST!Designed to mimic perfect EQ settingWorlds first set with Hybrid Metal Acoustic technologyFeatures Cleartone's patented EMP treatment for extended lifeTakes the guesswork out of 80/20 vs. phosphor bronzeHighlights your guitars natural frequency responseString Gauges: 11, 15, 24, 32, 42, 52Cleartone Item No. 7811Get yours today; with the security of our many decades of experience and Sam Ash Direct efficient order processing, your satisfaction is guaranteed!

I'm absolutely blown away by these strings. The idea that different materials through different ranges will give you the best overall sound makes so much sense when you think about it but no one else has ever done this. Absolutely love playing this guitar before. Now I can't put it down.

These strings provide even and consistent tone, which I love with my 50+ year old American made Ovation.

Yes, these are good strings. But it depends on the guitar that you are putting them on. These are the best strings for my archtop guitar. I bought a lot of these because they are perfect for that guitar. I have been playing guitar for 60 years and it turns out that every guitar will require a unique set of strings for the performance that you are looking for. Every string sounds different to me. So every guitar gets its own strings. It takes a long time to experiment with strings on your guitars, but you will get there.

I put these strings on an OM Ibanez that had a very flat sound to it. I tried several brands of strings trying to get some decent tone out of it. I found the EQ strings and figured I give them a try. These strings are INCREDIBLE. The first time I played them I was amazed at the tone difference - they have brought this guitar’s tone to life. Balance is the key word in describing these strings - from bass to the mids to the highs. I will not go back to any other type or brand of string now.If you have a guitar that isn’t giving you the tone that you think it should have, I highly recommend that you try these strings. I’m certain you will be very surprised at the difference that they make.

I was hoping these would be similar to the Everyly acoustic strings but find them to be less bright in sound.

I used to use Elixir, then I started using Cleartone strings. I continue to use Cleartone because my sweaty fingers dull acoustic strings fast.I was very impressed with these. I don't mind strings being different shades of brass, and it seemed like a nice balanced tone set of strings. I'm not going to say they were the best ever, or that they'll open the gates of heaven... I'll just say they were a good string, and was fun to get something JUST a little different.

I just put these on my Taylor 314, so this is a first impression, I guess. First thing you notice is the bass strings sound more balanced. I tried 80/20's and phosphor ones, and they sounded tinny to me, even the ones that came on the guitar from the manufacturer. So first impression for the treble strings is they are kind of mute. But then as you play you begin to realize that they sound right, not tinny at all. Overall these strings sound really great, very balanced. The more I play them, the more I like them. I thing some guitars that are naturally kind of wanky sounding might really benefit from these strings.
