The Story
Straight Up Strings delivers a paradigm shift in musical string design for the resophonic guitar, and feature compensated downloads that are presented by each string to the bridge segments and the spider. String tensions are engineered to adjust for the relative tensions of neighboring strings as well as where each string sits on the bridge segments (i.e., inner or outer strings). Super smooth surface for the bar, and a super rich tone for that resophonic "growl."
Straight Up Strings resophonic strings are currently available in medium gauge only.
• Gauges: .16.5˝ .019˝ .0265˝ .035˝ .047˝ .057˝
• Downloads*: D 8.3 B 8.4 G 8.4 D 8.3 B 8.2 G 8.3 • Total compensated download on spider: 49.9 ounces (3.11 pounds)
• Total longitudinal tension: 174 pounds
• Lower G, B, D, and G strings wound with a slick-surfaced phosphor bronze
*Down pressure loads measured at a 3° string break angle over the bridge. Downloads and tensions for open G tuning
