Are Cleartone Strings ball-ends color coded for easy restringing? Yes! Each string has a specific ball-end color to make restringing simple: Low E – Black, A – Silver, D – Red, G – Green, B – Purple, High E – Yellow

Why doesn’t Cleartone use individual paper envelopes for each string? We believe in reducing waste and keeping things simple. Instead of excess paper envelopes, we package our strings together in a protective sealed pouch. This not only keeps your strings fresh and tangle-free but also reduces unnecessary paper waste.

What makes Cleartone strings different from other coated guitar strings?
Cleartone Strings are built on premium USA-made cores and wraps, then treated with our twice-patented, award-winning No-Feel Coating. Unlike many coated strings, our ultra-thin layer doesn’t flake, feel sticky, or dampen tone. Players get the natural feel and sound of uncoated strings with 3–5 times the lifespan.

How long do Cleartone guitar strings last compared to uncoated?
On average, Cleartone strings last 3–5 times longer than traditional uncoated strings. That means weeks of consistent tone and fewer string changes—saving both time and money.

Do coated strings affect tone or feel sticky?
Most coated strings do. Cleartone’s patented coating is only one micron thin, so it feels and sounds like uncoated strings. Third-party reviews confirm that Cleartone strings retain natural brightness and sustain without the slippery feel.

Are Cleartone strings really made in the USA?
Yes. Every Cleartone string is made in our Utah facility, using 100% U.S.-sourced materials. From core wire to packaging, we control every step for consistent quality.

What gauges are most popular?
Among guitarists, the most popular Cleartone sets are 10–46 (light gauge) for electric guitar and 12–53 (light/medium gauge) for acoustic guitar. These gauges balance easy playability with rich tone. Heavier and specialty gauges are also available for players who prefer alternate tunings or extended range.
