1976 D'Addario inside story on great guitar strings

If you had to make a better string for your guitar, how would you do it? Here's how the D'Addario family does it. The best way to give a string longer life and stronger tone is to use a hexagonal core wire. Not sometimes. Always. The edges of a hexagonal core grasp the wrap wire firmly, to keep it from slipping. This gives you a more uniform string, all along its length - for stronger response, better harmonics and overtones - longer life.

That's just one quality that makes D'Addario strings better. Another factor is "strand annealing." Simply, that means we temper the wrap wire a foot at a time under precise control. It gives you more consistency and better dependability than treating wire in batches like others do. And where it matters, we guide the winding wire by hand.

Not everybody makes strings this carefully. But the D'Addario family has been making strings for eight generations. With our name on the package, we can't afford anything less than the best quality. We even give you a choice of brass or bronze windings in four gauges for acoustic guitar...nine different gauges for electric guitar...strings from banjo to dulcimer. Ask for D'Addario - knowing how we make strings should change the way you buy them.

1978 D'Addario Brass: the most brilliant idea in guitar strings

When John D'Addario began making special temper brass guitar strings in the 1950's, a lot of purists snickered. Brass was something used for cannons, buttons or architectural trim. Even propellers. but not strings. That's changed. Guitarists soon discovered that D'Addario brass strings produced pure, brilliant tones, with excellent sustain and balance. and that the special tempering process gave them superior flexibility. Today they're an industry standard...

1978 Nashville Straights - Acoustic, Electric & Bass Guitar Strings

The Straight Pitch: Guitar strings are made straight to be played straight. Coiling them in square envelopes can put harmful stress on the delicate windings and make them sound less than perfect. Nashville Straights come in long, rigid, straight boxes. You buy them straight, install them straight, and play them straight. And brother, can you hear the difference...

1978 Dean Markley Electric Guitar Strings

Unless you're one of those guys who waits for his strings to break before he replaces them, you're changing for one reason. The strings you're using are dead. No more brilliance. No more life. That's what's so nice about new strings. They're bright, responsive, full of life! And the better the string, the longer it holds that bright, clean, sound. That's exactly what Dean Markley Strings are all about. "Building strings that sound better and last longer."...
