Probably the finest strings in the world.
Optima Gold is a string series in premium quality that is second to none.
All strings are coated with genuine 24 carat gold and are therefore completely insensitive to tarnishing or corrosion. Their durability is up to three times higher than normal strings and they are suitable for nickel allergy sufferers.
24K GOLD STRINGS are characterised by a crisp, brilliant, strong sound. The typical SOUND OF GOLD, the brilliance of which Frank Zappa and John Entwistle swore by. And of course Brian May also plays OPTIMA 24K GOLD STRINGS on his guitars.
The Gold series includes strings for electric guitar, jazz guitar, acoustic guitar and electric/acoustic bass.
Bass material: hexagonal steel core with 24K gold-plated winding.
Treble material: 24K gold-plated premium steel.
The company with the golden touch.
Founded in 1920 in Markneukirchen/Vogtland still under the name "Maxima", OPTIMA developed into one of the best-known and best-selling string brands in Germany.
In addition to the outstanding products made of classic materials, it was a very special innovation that made the traditional German brand world famous: the 24K GOLD STRINGS.
International stars of the music and guitar scene, such as Frank Zappa, John Entwhistle, the Ramones, Earl Slick, Randy Hansen, Randy Bachmann and of course Brian May, made the fine strings an integral part of their sound.
This high-end quality, whether with gold or without, is offered by the OPTIMA brand for all areas of stringed instruments as well as for all modern plucked instruments, from classical to acoustic and electric guitars.
In addition, Optima offers a comprehensive range of strings for traditional instruments such as zither, dulcimer or Tyrolean folk harp under the brand name BERGFEE.
No matter for which instrument, OPTIMA is the optimal string.
