British guitar string maker Rotosound has launched new stainless steel strings based on their popular 1960s classics, but using improved processes and better materials

The original 1960s Rotosound stainless steel strings were used by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townsend, Brian May and many others, giving the clear, bright punchy 60's sound,

Rotosound say its new British Steels “have been designed to give a brilliant tone, sustain and great volume. They are constructed from the very best stainless steel available with the highest possible iron content (for better magnetic properties). The new strings are also now manufactured under even tighter quality control and stricter tolerances. "

Rotosound British Steels are available in the following gauges (‘w’ denotes wound string):

BS09 09 / 11 / 16 / 24w / 32w / 42w
BS10 10 / 13 / 17 / 26w / 36w / 46w
BS11 11 / 14 / 18 / 28w / 38w / 48w
