FenderStratocaster

Cleartone uses proprietary EDT (Enhanced Data Transfer) coating technology — the thinnest transparent coating on the market, designed to feel and sound exactly like uncoated strings. Brighter and more open than Elixir, closer to D'Addario XT or Ernie Ball Paradigm in feel. For players who want coated longevity without the tonal compromise.

Gigging musicians who want coated longevity but hate Elixir's muted high-end. Players who find D'Addario XT slightly dampened. Recording guitarists wanting maximum brightness with extended life. Boutique-minded players at premium coated price.

3-4 months of usable tone — matches Elixir Optiweb and D'Addario XT. EDT coating is exceptionally thin so wear at fret contact is slower than thicker Elixir coatings. Cleartone QC is solid.

Excellent humidity and sweat resistance — matching Elixir. Coated string market standard climate tolerance. Tropical-climate players see 5-10x longer usable life vs uncoated.
