Moisture is the enemy of guitar strings... Exposing them to high levels of humidity promotes oxidation and accelerates rust formation. These strings provides air tight packaging called Nitro-Packs and these packs have eliminated the oxygen and sealed it with nitrogen to insure the utmost line of defense against corrosion and oxidation for each individual string put in 4” square plastic nitrogen envelope, since the spring of 2016. If you ever open a pack of strings and find one oxidized or corroded, GHS will replace it free of charge*. You deserve strings that are as fresh and brand new as the day they were sealed, whether you open them immediately, or after keeping them in a gig bag for months. You are protected with outstanding protection and guarantee!                                                                                  

TIP...When we strum our guitar, our hands naturally get sweaty or greasy. Unfortunately, these substances can accelerate the process of rusting and corrosion in our guitar strings. You see, sweat contains salts and minerals that are harmful to metal materials like guitar strings. So when those salty fingers touch the strings, they transfer those corrosive elements onto the surface, causing chemical reactions that speed up rust formation. Greasy hands also leave behind oils that contribute to the decay of the strings over time. Whip your strings with a microfiber cleaning cloth will help keep your string lasting longer.
