Better Performing, Longer Lasting
Pure Tone • Great Feel
Pure tone – Great feel in your hands – High quality, long-lasting guitar strings that perform better than other brands,
… here’s how:
We have been the ONLY string maker for Steinway and Sons Pianos (and just about every other fine piano manufacturer) for more than 100 years! For nearly as long, we have been supplying the string material (core & wrap wire) as well as winding strings for some of the finest guitar string brands in the industry.
American String is our own premium guitar string brand solely focused on consistently bringing you the best guitar strings, “Pure Tone • Great Feel.”
We apply more than a century of string making to produce the finest strings for your guitars. We utilize what no other string maker can, including:
- Only High-Quality US-Based Metals – We utilize only the highest quality source metals from US mines that we have been working with for decades. This provides us and you with superior American steel.
- 5 Generations of Craftsmanship – Five generations of expertise, manufacturing processes, and craftsmanship to optimize tone and consistency for your guitars by our craftsmen right here in the United States of America.
- Our Own Wire Mills – Why this matters, … A string can only great if its components are of high-quality. Controlling the manufacturing processes in our own wire mills allows us to provide our string winders with the best component materials available anywhere. Because we control the processes from raw material through final string production we can drive high-quality through the entire manufacturing process and deliver a superior product to our customers.
This produces high quality long lasting strings,…superior tone, great feel in your hands, strings that perform better than other brands. Bottom line, they Last Longer and Perform Better.
Hear, feel, and experience the American String difference – Pure Tone, Great Feel.
