The OPTIMA VINTAGEFLEX ACOUSTICS have an extra low and very equal tension and are made with a high quality round core wound with the best phosphor bronze.
ATTENTION! Roundcore strings! Do not cut the strings until they are installed and tuned to pitch.
Due to recent shortages in Plectrum strings I have had to look for a similar Low Tension string for a Vintage guitar with no truss rod. A modified '63 Yamaha No.10 all wood.
I have found the Optima's to be a great replacement as they have a soft feel and good mid to high range tones. As the guitar has a lot of bass, it was good to get a little more brightness down low with the thinner E, A strings. My only thought is the Optima's are slightly noisy on the wound strings.
The guitar has settled into them nicely, and they are showing little to no signs of being played are several weeks of daily playing as I have experienced a lot of finger marks on the Plectrum bass strings.
All said and done, I am happy to stay with the Optima VintageFlex Acoustic strings.
