Everly look it up. Weve been in the music business since 1957 actually "making music", just like you. Were not people who fancy themselves musicians because they make stuff for the music industry. We actually helped invent rock n roll (no joke). Our strings are made in Los Angeles CA with American wire. They are wrapped using our exclusive ultra high tension winding technique. Loose wraps = dead strings. Ultra tight wraps = punchy, powerful, fat strings. Great for all styles. Even yours.
