The strings come as a .010-.052 gauge set. "The first time I played Cleartone strings, I noticed a ton more volume," Mustaine said. "They were bright, felt solid and durable, but really loud. I really feel Cleartone Strings are amazing. They are the best sounding string out there, which is why I use them exclusively on all my guitars." “I didn't even know they were treated until I realized how long they were on the guitar," Mustaine added. "They last much longer than other strings I’ve used.” Mustaine played on Cleartone Strings during Megadeth’s newest album, Super Collider, and played them all throughout the International Megadeth-headlined tour, Gigantour.

This move reunites Cleartone owner and rock ‘n roll pioneer Phil Everly with the iconic American guitar brand. As premium treated guitar strings, they’re known for remaining bright and lively-sounding for an incredibly long time. Gibson switched to Cleartone after extensive testing in a retail environment proved the strings on Cleartone-strung guitars remained new-sounding longer than uncoated strings. Cleartone’s Gibson set includes the following string gauges: .009, .011, .016, .026, .036 and .046. According to Cleartone owner Phil Everly, “Gibson has given my family so much joy over the years. My dad’s prized possession was his L-5™. And I’ll never forget my years touring the world; first with my J-200™ and later my Everly Brothers model J-185™. We are very proud to supply Gibson USA with original factory strings. It’s wonderful to keep the tradition going.” Phil’s son Jason Everly is President of Cleartone Strings. About the Gibson deal, he says, “My family and Gibson share a lot of history together. To bring things full circle like this is truly incredible. We are humbled and honored.” Mailing Address: 827 Hollywood Way #420 Burbank, CA 91505 Phone: 818.503.2700 Web: cleartonestrings.com New in 2015 4 New Star Picks Colors Just Released!

Larger dreadnaught guitars, sometimes referred to as “jumbo guitars,” naturally have a very boomy quality to their sound that tends to drown out the brightness when using traditional gauges of strings. Grand Lights are engineered to project brighter in order to balance out this sound, while accenting all of the pleasant overtones only jumbo guitars can project. In addition, the playability is well-rounded so you don’t necessarily have to have a jumbo-sized guitar to enjoy the benefits of Grand Light strings; they work well on just about any acoustic guitar. Try our new Grand Light strings today! Available at Sam Ash and other authorized Cleartone dealers.
