PROGRESSIVES, Electric Guitar,
Custom Light Gauge, 9 - 46
Filament Grade alloy is magnetically
active for long lasting and powerful
performance.

52% iron mixed with 48% nickel
is the formula for Alloy-52. This
magnetically active alloy makes
for an extremely durable, highly
responsive string, with awesome
resonance characteristics. It
resists tarnish up to 3 times over
its nickel-plated steel
predecessor and delivers more
sustain and overtones.

Phosphor Bronze Round Wound
Introduced to stringmaking by
D'Addario in 1974, phosphor
bronze has become synonymous
with warm, bright, long-lasting
string tone. D'Addario phosphor
bronze strings are the industry
standard in acoustic tone and are
the stage and studio choice of
top professionals worldwide.

D'Addario pioneered the use of
nickelplated steel for electric
guitar. Today, discerning
professionals like Mark
Tremonti, John Scofield, Pat
Metheny, and Brad Delson, just
to name a few, choose XLs for
their distinctive bright sound and
excellent intonation.

ProSteels are D'Addario's brightest and most
magnetic bass strings. A specialized alloy
delivers harmonically rich, brilliant high-end
coupled with deep, tight lows that work in
tandem to create the coveted "piano-like" tone
steel players crave. For a limited time, specially
marked ProSteels EPS170, EPS160, and
EPS165 packages include a FREE D'Addario
"Bass Lines" CD, featuring original tracks from
Oteil Burbridge, Gary Willis, Jimmy Haslip,
Dave Ellefson, and more.

BROOKS SWEARS BY THESE

Real Strings Real Tone™" "That what
we do. We did not reinvent the string, but
we make the best string money can buy and
we make it the same way from the same
materials every time. We do not shop
around for the lowest price on wire. We
purchase our premium wire from the same
source... all the time. We do not coat our
strings and we do not follow several
automatic manufactoring techniques that
may actually increase string breakage. All of
this helps provide strings with maximum
longevity. Our Strings are not for everyone,
but they are perfect for those tired of mass-
marketed products and manufactoring
mediocrity, String tone is our passion as
guitar players and as string indusrty
veterans. Curt Mangan® FusionMatched®
strings are the best strings, period!"
