The very best strings available anywhere—with clear singing highs and rich sonorous lows—able to withstand the constant changes of climate associated with touring.
Phil Circle has been using these strings for decades and even holds an endorsement from John Pearse. The feeling is mutual.
These are outstanding strings for the acoustic player who enjoys a slightly warmer sound, strings that bend and yet hold their pitch, and overall great playability.
The exciting SILKS sets mark a departure from orthodox acoustic string design. Formulated for the electric guitarist who doubles on acoustic, this set features a never before possible "playing ease" tension married with the warmth and projection for which JP acoustic strings are famous. Triple annealed mild steel is pulled through a draw plate to make an extra skinny core. Onto this is wound a silk multifilament which cushions a phosphor bronze winding. This is NOT a silk and steel set. The natural edginess of the phosphor bronze winding is tempered by the silk cushion to produce a tone that studio players everywhere are likening to 80/20 bronze sets after they have been played in. Steve Sheehan, lead guitarist with the Judds, asked JP Strings to make this set. Guitarists all over America are thanking him!
