Here’s why you don’t feel our patented coating — it’s just 1 micron thin. That’s up to 100x thinner than a human hair.
At Cleartone, our mission is simple: deliver great-sounding, long-lasting guitar strings—without compromise.
It starts with premium materials, sourced locally and stored in our climate-controlled Utah factory. Every person who assembles your strings is a guitarist, trained to spot even the smallest inconsistencies before a single string leaves our hands.
It was always Phil Everly’s goal to start with an extremely high-quality string first—then apply a coating that wouldn’t compromise tone or feel. That’s exactly what we do. Each string is fully submerged in our patented treatment, which bonds instantly in a microscopic layer. It won’t flake, dull your tone, or feel sticky. In fact, third-party reviews often say they feel and sound just like regular uncoated strings.
Players usually notice the difference right away—more volume, better sustain, and weeks later, the tone still holds up.
From our materials to our packaging, every part of the process is 100% U.S.-sourced and U.S.-made. We strive for excellence and aim to honor Phil’s legacy through innovation, quality, and consistency—Striving to deliver a top-notch product to you.

Perfect match for me
Usin the cleartones on my S2 PRS and they sound great. Stay in tune nicely. Thanks.
I’m sure I will be pleased. Moving to Oregon. Will restring bass then.😎
I put the strings on two acoustic guitars and three electric guitars. I noticed the difference immediately. Each of the guitars sounded better and playing them was easier than with standard strings. I have tried other coated strings in the past but the Cleartones played and sounded better than the others, by a lot. I'm convinced. From now on, my guitars will only use Cleartone strings.
Love the strings for I have purchased them at guitar center. They have a warm sound to them when I play rhythm guitar. Awesome strings.
These strings last and last.They sparkle with excellent tones. I play every day. I had a set last 2 years.You must buy these. You will not be disappointed. T. A.
Never using another set of strings on my Martin HD-28. Have them on my only other acoustic 6 string as well. That copper 6th really makes a massive difference in the bass tone, and I love the crispiness of the 80/20 3rd while the 4ths and 5ths Phosphor bronze still deliver plenty of punch. And you can't beat that price!
I was and am still amazed at the excellent customer service I received when there was a small issue with the order. Scott went out of his way to complete the order, which was mailed out the next day. The strings were a gift for my nephew, who has become a true Cleartone fan. He loves the strings and the true sound they produce.
I love my Cleartone strings! They are bright, punchy, and articulate, and they least forever. I have very oily hands and I burn through other sets of strings, but not these. Whether I'm getting normal 9-46 for my 6-strings or my custom 13-80 for my 7- string in Drop Eb, Cleartone strings always sound awesome and have never let me down!
I love the product. I am a fan of the quality and the grade customer service. I highly recommend this product.
I’ve used Cleartone somewhere between 8 and 10 years and I’ve always been satisfied with the quality, sound, but more important, the durability. I’ve tried other known brands and they always rust very fast.
Play acoustic guitar in church, and practice about 4x week, and these 80/20 light gauge strings (phospor/bronze) seem to last forever...but, change every 2 months, or when I detect tone/volume decreasing.. However, they continue to sound terrific right up to change..recommended by Chris Brunelle , Catholic guitarist..(thanks Chris!)
My second set of these bad boys and they are certainly the best! Thanks for all you guys do.
Cleartone Strings exceeded my expectations. I have used Elixirs for years. Cleartone strings sound better and are less expensive.
