Thomastik Plectrum String Set, Silk & Steel, .011-.050

The Plectrum series of guitar strings provide a softer, warmer alternative for acoustic players.The plain strings are made of brass coated steel, the wound strings have a silk inlay in combination, to dampen odd-order harmonics. The combination of lower overall tension, hybrid arrangement of flatwounds (A, D, G) with roundwound low E, and silk inlays (for precise overtone balance) produces a beautiful, almost classical tone, with the warmth of bronze and the easy playability of a fine set of jazz strings. And because of its low, evenly balanced tensions, Plectrums can extend the playing life of many fine older guitars with weak bracing or other special age conditions.
