Swift order shipment ensures that GHS strings arrive "Factory-Fresh."

 

How do String Materials affect tone and feel?

The hardness of the common materials used in the cover wire of strings affects both tone and "feel" of a string. Usually, if everything else remains constant, the harder the material the brighter the string . This relationship shows why stainless steel produces a very bright sound and nickel, a softer material, produces a much warmer sound. However, harder materials can be abrasive to both your fingers and the frets. The unique "Alloy 52" is softer and less abrasive than a stainless steel but produces a tone almost as bright. Common cover wire materials include stainless steel, Alloy 52, nickel plated steel, pure nickel, and for acoustics, brass and bronze. The core for all strings and all plain steel strings are made from tin plated Swedish steel.
