La Bella Acoustic Guitar Golden Alloy Heavy, .014 - .058, 40PH

Over the centuries, the problem of prolonging the life of metal strings has plagued both players and string makers. Today, some manufacturers have discovered a quick fix method to prevent oxidation from occuring. They coat the metal strings with a polymer or synthetic material. This process stifles the wound string's sound production and does not guarantee a longer life. Any surface treatment deadens the natural transmitting powers of the string and dampens the high overtones associated with a good wound acoustic guitar string.

The Golden Alloy Wound series are composed of a unique bronze compound. Made to LaBella's own specifications, the characteristics of this wire used for the windings makes these strings produce a sweet tone. With the ability to sustain a long decay of sound. These distinctive sets have a resilient string tension to insure ease of playing."
