This exclusive, patented set is designed to be equivalent in tension to traditional light gauge steel core acoustic strings (ca. 160 lbs). Since many acoustic guitars are designed for this tension, no neck adjustments are required.

Because we've eliminated the galvanic couple, this set is corrosion proof (see the chemistry page). We've also eliminated the use of a ductile tin layer (as is used with conventional steel-core strings). In fact, we've eliminated the use of all "sound dampening materials" within the speaking length of the string. This results in a longer "bright period" with less mechanical wear.

We've developed an exclusive, patented sheathed-end design, which prevents recoil of the windings both during storage and during installation. These sheathed-ends should not be removed until the guitar is strung, otherwise recoil may occur (see directions for use)

The longevity of this set is indefinite. It exceeds that of conventional strings by orders of magnitude. In fact, this set is corrosion proof, so we honestly don't know if this string will ever enter the "dead period".

This set projects sound characteristics that are initially "brighter" than new, conventional steel-core phosphor bronze strings; with a difference in timbre which is even more uniquely "titanium". The "mellow plateau" of this set yields a truly, mellow-soft tone which is well suited for many styles of guitar playing.

Like our other sets, the lower stiffness Titanium core translates to easier playability.
