Coated Strings Never Sounded Better!

Cleartone Electric Strings are coated, and they sound great. Thanks to Cleartone Strings and their EMP technology, coated strings sound better than ever. Cleartone's EMP (Enhanced Molecular Protection) is a patent pending process that extends the string's life by protecting it against oils from your hands, elements in the air, and just general string deterioration. EMP coating doesn't feel slick or slippery, and it won't flake off. You won't even know it is there. In a nut shell, it helps your strings stay fresh and clean without killing your tone.

Best Strings

The very best
by DIEGO MUNOZ HERRERA from Managua, Managua on

38 years of guitar stringing

I use these string on all my electrics now. Various gauges of course, and they always sound bright, clear and resist rusting better than any I've ever tried. I've got 5 or 6 months worth a pretty steady gigging out of a set of these bad girls. I've got several studio guitars that I've had Cleartones on for well over 2 years and they still sound and feel great. In regards to the few negative reviews of these strings, I've had the total opposite experience.

New Favorite Strings

I typically use Ernie Ball Slinky 10's and then I saw lots of guys starting to use them and how great they sound. I sweat a lot so I have to change string quite often and hadnt ever had a coated string that I liked. The coating is phenomenal and feels great (I can barely feel it) nor has it changed to tone of my guitar at all. I don't understand why they were given 2 or 3 stars by that other guy when he didn't even give any real reason besides that he didn't like them. I guarantee that you will love these if you are looking for a great coated string.

Great Strings

I've been using Cleartone strings for the past few years, and I have only had them break once. During band rehearsal, the G string broke. I had been using the same set for at least several months before it broke. I think the tone is very good and I would recommend these strings to anyone who is looking for inexpensive strings with high quality. I think they have a better tone quality than the other popular brands.

Better than Elixirs

I've been using Elixirs for the last 4-5 years on all of my guitars. I'm a sweaty palm dude and once you get past the two guitar threshold, laziness kicks in and the last thing you want to do is add frequent string changing to your list of chores. For 3 of those years I also played out every weekend and needed strings that would last. I tried these out at the recommendation of a colleague, and no kidding - I'm blown away. The output and sustain claims compared to other coated strings (aka Elixir) are legit and not just marketing bs. Also, my Strat has low end and presence like it's never had before.

As far as feel goes, compared to Elixirs, they feel very "matte". You don't feel any slippery coating. They feel like regular strings, but slightly "drier" if that makes any sense. Whether or not this matters to you is personal preference. The only reason why this doesn't get a 5 star rating is because I don't like how my strings came packaged - mine were all bundled together and a pain to untangle. My high E got a little bent as a result. That was annoying considering that these are roughly twice the price of regular string that do come individually packaged. I know it's not as environmentally friendly, but some recycled paper separating each string would be a welcome change.

Bottom line - if you come from the coated string world like me, you'll be very pleasantly surprised. If you've always played uncoated strings, you'll be less impressed, but they are still awesome and worth the money.
