you've probably read how I've played fretted instruments professionally
for 40+ years. During those years years I've tried every brand, type and gauge
string I can get my hands on.
Here's yet another string I've been experimenting with.
And I like it!
GHS White Bronze
Ho hum. Experimenting with new string brands and styles all day long.
If you're in Phoenix, come by and force me to take a break! Please!
Bring beer..:-)
These acoustic guitar strings are wound with wire that is made of 'Alloy 52'.
That Alloy is a secret formulation developed by Bob Lazar at Papoose Lake
near Area 51 in Nevada, while working with alien space beings!!!
Not really. Alloy 52 is simply a different blend of metal. Not
phosphor bronze (92/8) and not 80/20 bronze (or brass), alloy 52 is made of
approximately 50% nickel, 49% iron and the remainder is traces of things like
silicon and manganese to make it easier to form into wire.
In terms of guitar strings, that suggests essentially two things -
ONE - The strings are more magnetic than bronze/brass strings.
If you use some kind of magnetic pickup on your acoustic, you will see
greater output with this string.
TWO - In terms of the BRIGHT / MELLOW scale, they tend to fall somewhere
between Phosphor Bronze and 80/20 Bronze, right about in the middle of the continuum.
(I had to look that up. That really is how you spell CONTINUUM).
