UK guitar string maker Rotosound have re-branded their famous 'contact core' acoustic guitar strings for 2010. Known as 'Country Golds' since their launch in 1974, the popular strings have been re-christened "Super Bronze" to widen their appeal beyond the Country genre.

James How, Rotosound's founder, pioneered the contact core strings believing that the unusual design with the string's centre core resting on the bridge of the guitar helped to produce a brighter, louder sound with a longer sustain. They also have the side-effect of slightly reducing the action of the guitar without any adjustment!

The re-branded Super Bronze strings have a rich textured tone that stems from the use of Phosphor Bronze; an alloy of copper, tin and phosphor made to Rotosound's exact specifications using the latest state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, improved quality control and the finest quality raw materials.

Rotosound Super Bronze strings are used by many top artists including Julie Ellison, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Walter Trout, Bob Geldof, Ed Tudor Pole and many others.
