Can it be that there is an acoustic guitar string that seems to get better with age? The Dean Markley GoldPhos Alchemy acoustic guitar strings sure seem to! They produce a beautiful sound with a warm and nicely even tonal projection and a full, rich sound. The GoldPhos are a perfect string for the studio or stage as they need virtually no EQ to adjust their already nearly perfect sound. A sound quality that is often immitated but never duplicated. A sound that is true inspiration!
