Optima VintageFlex Low Tension Strings - Has Anybody Tried Them?

[wordlesschorus]

Hi guys,

I'm exploring low tension strings and was just wondering if anybody has had a chance to try these strings out yet? Thanks!

Made in Germany - round core - low tension.

But I can't find what they're made from - so I sent them an email inquiry.

I'll put them on my list of strings to try.... maybe.

Im curious too but they are more expensive that Newtone Heritage and I can get custom sets at no up charge so I havent bought the Optima's

Received this reply,

'the core is a high carbon round steel, the wire is a bronze 80/20'.

I'm out.

I checked out the site, thanks for the link.

Regarding their 24k Gold electric strings, they say “probably the best strings in the world”. I want them to be more certain before I buy them. :-)
