Cleartone Strings

No guitarist or bassist would ever dispute the impact that strings have on the sound of their instruments. Of course, since the ideal sound is a subjective thing that varies from one musician to another, the same can be said about the choice of strings. Different string makers all have their own trademarks, and for Cleartone, the biggest one is volume. That's why Dave Mustaine started using Cleartone 10's: they gave him the volume boost he didn't even know he needed.  Another of Cleartone's claims to fame is their coating. They use a special surface treatment that's so thin you could easily mistake the strings for uncoated, but it lasts for ages despite that thinness. Cleartone says that their strings last three to five times longer than uncoated strings and never flake, and it's a promise that they do a good job delivering on. These are great strings if you want the benefits of a coating without the feel of one.
