Cleartone Guitar Strings

Cleartone Guitar Strings feature the award winning patented treatment and coating that is designed to keep your strings sounding fresh, 3-5 times longer than uncoated strings. Designed primarily for coating sensitive electronics and hard drive platters (where tolerances for precision are extremely high), Cleartone solves this problem by having the thinnest coating in the industry. Less than one micron thick, it's durable enough to withstand hard strumming. Instead of only coating the wound strings the Cleartone Treatment is applied to all strings to ensure longer string life without tonal compromises. Nothing lasts as long or sounds as good as Cleartone Strings. Take the Cleartone Challenge and see why our coated guitar strings are a step above.

The inherent characteristics of carbon fiber also serve as an efficient conductor of sound wave energy that is echoed within the hollow chamber. The result is an incredibly clear and full body sound that is remarkably loud, pure and unique, extraordinarily light weight, incredibly strong and reflexive to resonate energy that enables Viktorian instruments to achieve such a brilliant sound.
