Cleartone EQ Hybrid Metal Acoustic Guitar Strings (10-47)

I used to use Elixir, then I started using Cleartone strings. I continue to use Cleartone because my sweaty fingers dull acoustic strings fast.I was very impressed with these. I don't mind strings being different shades of brass, and it seemed like a nice balanced tone set of strings. I'm not going to say they were the best ever, or that they'll open the gates of heaven... I'll just say they were a good string, and was fun to get something JUST a little different.

The sings last longer than any sings I have used and the tone is great.

I’ve been a long time CT string customer and as long as they continue to make em, I’ll continue to buy em.

Yes, these are good strings. But it depends on the guitar that you are putting them on. These are the best strings for my archtop guitar. I bought a lot of these because they are perfect for that guitar. I have been playing guitar for 60 years and it turns out that every guitar will require a unique set of strings for the performance that you are looking for. Every string sounds different to me. So every guitar gets its own strings. It takes a long time to experiment with strings on your guitars, but you will get there.

I was hoping these would be similar to the Everyly acoustic strings but find them to be less bright in sound.

I just put these on my Taylor 314, so this is a first impression, I guess. First thing you notice is the bass strings sound more balanced. I tried 80/20's and phosphor ones, and they sounded tinny to me, even the ones that came on the guitar from the manufacturer. So first impression for the treble strings is they are kind of mute. But then as you play you begin to realize that they sound right, not tinny at all. Overall these strings sound really great, very balanced. The more I play them, the more I like them. I thing some guitars that are naturally kind of wanky sounding might really benefit from these strings.

I am very disappointed with these, they were so bad and flat sounding I took them off right away. LOLI heard that the company went under new ownership or something like that. The quality of these strings sadly has gone way down.

I was a bit sceptical. These strings have three different materials on different strings. Such a big sound. Crazy lows with the Copper Bronze. Phosphor Bronze always has a nice bright and mid-range sound. I really don't know why this hasn't been done.You might think it's a gimmick, but I was more surprised when I went back to a normal Phosphor Bronze set. Seriously give these a try. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I'm a fan now.
