Ry Cooder knows.
When your resume reads like a history of the genre, you know the requirements for great sound.
Ry’s Acoustic String: Phosphor Bronze 12-56
Roy picks this hybrid tension set that brings full and heavy low strings to drive a guitar's top with lighter high strings to bring more snap and bend.
Electric String: XL Nickel 10-46
The string that started it all is only appropriate for a player who’s been there from the start.
Mandolin String: XT 11-40
Ry’s choice for its advanced corrosion resistance treatment, which preserves the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings.
