ACOUSTIC SCIENCE PREMIUM
TREATED GUITAR STRINGS have a nano-thin molecular layer applied to the strings.
They are treated strings, not coated and that is important. This thin layer
offers protection from the elements in the playing environment. And also, keeps
away material (skin, debris, foreign material) that attaches to the string and
makes regular strings go dead after playing a few times. In the case of
"coated strings" the coating itself can cause damped sound and loss
of vibration. The treatment we use to apply our patented process can best be
described as "spray painting with atoms" Funny... but true.
Many artists tell Acoustic
Science "It is like Acoustic Science strings glow" when playing. That
is because when wound strings are strummed to create sound, the windings and
the rest of the string are in harmonic vibration. Any part of the string that
is in contact with an adjacent surface (like the windings, for instance) are
rubbing, in frictional contact. In a standard string it is metal against metal.
That is why regular strings take some time to break in, and also why repeat
tuning is needed, until the rubbing friction breaks in a bit, and the
"sweet spot" is reached.
What happens with Acoustic
Science Guitar Strings is different from all other strings. The surface
treatment has also treated down inside the surfaces in contact, i.e between the
windings, on a microscopic scale, with molecules of a Teflon-like substance.
The string is pre-conditioned, with less rubbing friction to slow down the
playing action, even right out of the pack. Also, the surface treatment is
microscopic, which means it does its job to improve surface properties, BUT, it
does not dull the sound, by damping or reducing the volume and brilliance. AS
Strings sound great, right away, and keep sounding that way for a long, long
time. Compared to standard strings, or coated strings.
