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.

I was turned onto Cleartone Strings just recently by Erik Turner from Warrant. After decades of using Ernie Ball Strings, I can tell you it is night and day with these strings. The tone from these strings is just on another level and most importantly, they last longer! I clean my guitars and strings after every time I play it and my old strings would wear out quickly. With these, they just last and last and last. They may be a little more expensive, but you can make these strings last for the amount of times you will go through 3 sets of other brands. I will never switch back after using these strings. EVER!

Last forever, sustain for days, bright. Great strings, worth the extra money, in the end they will outlast a standard set of strings 3 times longer, so they end up being cheaper. They also do not make your fingers grey with that oxidation that builds up on non coated strings. The strings always stay smooth and free from oxidation that will slow you down on other strings. I play everyday and have played cleartones for 3 years(since 2018). I have never broken a string and my strings tend last about 18 months, Again I play a few hours almost every day. I am only replacing them because after 18 months they are not holding tune very well any more. Really really happy with performance of these strings, AWESOME!!!!

Amazing Strings! My new go to strings, beat out elixirs.

I've tried different brands of coated strings with just "ok" results. These strings are the best I've ever tried. I've had them on for about 4 weeks, and they are still sounding good. I like how smooth they feel and sound when sliding up and down the strings.

Very nice so far, I have had these on for a week and they are still fresh sounding and tune up good. That already puts them a notch above the other strings I have used. I am going to leave them on and see how long they will last and maybe write another review and let you know how long they go and still have tone and tune up.
