BLACK LABEL SOCIETY’s Nick Catanese Teams With Dean Markley USA To Release Signature Guitar Strings
August 21, 2012, 11 years ago
Dean Markley USA has announced the release of the new Nick Catanese (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) Signature Set of guitar strings. This collaboration offers select gauges from the Dean Markley Helix line of strings, as used by the Black Label Society guitarist. The strings will be available worldwide through local dealers and online retailers.
According to a press release: “The new Helix string uses a precise elliptical shape for the winding wires; eliminating the need for coatings, treatments or frivolous alloys. The new shape required a new hyper-elliptical winding process resulting in an increased number of wraps along the length of the string. More wraps, more mass. More mass, more tone. By using an elliptical wire, the gap between windings is diminished to help prevent buildup of sweat, grime and dirt. Additional benefits of the elliptical wraps are a smoother feel and less string noise without sacrificing brilliance, resonance and tone.”
The Nick Catanese Signature Set includes his choice of custom gauges:
E String: .010
B String: .013
G String: .017
D String: .036
A String: .046
E String: .056
Price for the strings is $12.95. For more info visit this location.
