Probably the finest strings in the world. Developed and handcrafted in Germany from the best materials and designed for the highest sonic demands.

This series reflects our 100-year tradition in string production. The result is a premium quality string that is second to none. All strings are coated with real 24 carat gold and are therefore completely insensitive to tarnishing or corrosion, their durability is up to three times higher than normal strings and they are suitable for people who are allergic to nickel. 24K GOLD STRINGS are characterized by a brilliant sound and the typical SOUND OF GOLD, which Frank Zappa loved among others. And of course Brian May also plays OPTIMA 24K GOLD STRINGS on his guitars. 

24 carat gold plated (with gold plating); E1 and A2 are made of the best premium steel and are also coated with real gold. G3 to E6 - the core of these strings is tinned hexagonal steel, wrapped with gold-plated core wire.
