Many people don't know that Cleartone Strings was founded by none other than the legendary rock 'n' roller and Hall of Fame inductee Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers! At the height of his career, he was looking for better-sounding, more durable guitar strings that didn't need to be replaced after every show. Since no product on the market met his exacting standards, he decided to take matters into his own hands and personally oversaw the development of a new string treatment. This treatment applies a protective layer only 0.5 microns thick, dramatically extending the lifespan of a set. And all this without sacrificing volume, tone, or sustain. On the contrary, the treatment positively influences the tonal characteristics!
36% Louder - 5x Longer Lasting - 48% More Sustain!
Our proprietary manufacturing process: Cleartones are made from scratch using custom-built, state-of-the-art winding machines and Phil Everly's patented core-to-winding ratio. The machines are designed to operate at higher tensions, producing more and therefore denser string windings, resulting in added volume and tuning stability.
Patented, award-winning treatment technology: The multi-patented, award-winning treatment technology is considered THE standard in string coating technology. Often imitated but never equaled, the Cleartone coating is applied just 0.5 micrometers thick. It won't peel or fray, no matter how hard the strings are played. Cleartones are also the only coated strings that play, behave, and feel like a traditional, uncoated set, while offering all the benefits of a long-lasting string.

With Cleartone Bass, you get powerful, long-lasting strings ready for any style—whether you're playing heavy metal grooves, unleashing funky slaps, or seeking maximum precision in the studio.
