BLACK LABEL SOCIETY’s Nick Catanese Teams With Dean Markley USA To Release Signature Guitar Strings Dean Markley USA has announced the release of the new
Nick Catanese (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) Signature Set of guitar strings. This
collaboration offers select gauges from the Dean Markley Helix line of
strings, as used by the
Black Label Society guitarist. The strings will
be available worldwide through local dealers and online retailers.
According to a press release: “The new Helix string uses a precise
elliptical shape for the winding wires; eliminating the need for
coatings, treatments or frivolous alloys. The new shape required a new
hyper-elliptical winding process resulting in an increased number of
wraps along the length of the string. More wraps, more mass. More mass,
more tone. By using an elliptical wire, the gap between windings is
diminished to help prevent buildup of sweat, grime and dirt. Additional
benefits of the elliptical wraps are a smoother feel and less string
noise without sacrificing brilliance, resonance and tone.”
The Nick Catanese Signature Set includes his choice of custom gauges:
E String: .010
B String: .013
G String: .017
D String: .036
A String: .046
E String: .056
Price for the strings is $12.95. For more info visit this location.
