Description

Gauges: 11 – 14 – 20 – 28 (wound) -38 – 48

Since the early 1960s, I was under the mistaken impression that heavy gauge strings provided better tone.  In the early 1990s, I experienced bleeding on the tips of my left hand fingers. After endless gauge comparisons, I settled on the above gauges, as I discovered there was no loss of tone.  Perhaps you will also find these gauges acceptable.  Remember, to avoid causing extreme tension changes on your guitar’s neck, it is always best to change strings only one at a time, using the same gauge strings for optimum playability.

The string set is perfect for my guitar. Switching from heavier gauge chromes, these strings are articulate and dynamic and easier on my fingers, which allows longer playing time. As round wounds, they squeak more than flat wounds, but it’s a trade off for longer playing time without burning finge...

For my Entradas. These strings came with my Entradas so I’m sticking with them. Live the wound 3rd string. Great tone and playability!

Lovely the Conti strings on my Entrada, great gauge to play complex runs/ chords and for all around use in the eclectic range of music I play. Also great to be able to adjust string tension on my Entrada if I want to keep it tight or need to make some serious bends. String life is good too=quality
