New Chet Atkins strings for acoustic/electric guitars debut

Gibson Strings & Accessories announces the introduction of three new gauges of their Chet Atkins strings for electric/acoustic guitar.

Gibson Chet Atkins guitar strings are Tone Tempered™ and wound with a special alloy called Monel. These "Chet approved" premium quality strings are perfect for acoustic guitars which use piezo-type transducer pickups to get their electric sound. These types of guitars may often suffer from a tendency to be overly bright or "tinny", and the warm, smooth tone of Gibson Chet Atkins strings helps to compensate this characteristic, giving electricified acoustic guitars a more pleasing and natural acoustic tone.

They are available at all authorized Gibson dealers and come in three popular gauges; Ultra Light (.011/ .050), Light (.012/ .052) and Medium (.013/ .056). As with all Gibson Strings, they carry an unconditional Gibson Guarantee of Quality and come with a free Gibson Guitar Collector Card inside!

For more information call 1-800-986-4766.
