Helix HD electric guitar strings provide a smoother feel
and a brighter, more resonant tone than any other string. As a matter
of fact, the Helix HD is the most innovative break-through in string
technology since the beginning of stringed instruments!
To make the Helix HD, the patent-pending, Hyper-Elliptical Winding
process took over a year of many trials to find just the precise
elliptical shape for the winding wire. This shape then had to be paired
with the correct winding process that would produce these stupendous
results--the maximum mass for the string's diameter that still
maintained the string's vibrancy.
More mass makes a fuller tone; more windings give a smoother feel as
well as a brighter, more resonant tone. This provides a smoothness and
performance unrivaled by any conventional string. The STAR gauge
strings are a little heavier with a wound and a plain G string, making
it a little meatier for blues and rock players.
