GPX™ Carbon Trebles and Full Sets - High tension

Kiss Intonation and Delamination Problems Goodbye!

Carbon treble* strings are notorious for intonation problems, usually because of excessive diameter variation throughout the length of the string. To solve this challenge, we have reformulated our GPX™ Carbon Treble strings for unsurpassed diameter accuracy. Laser micrometer technology ensures that only “true” strings will be packaged, allowing your guitar to play in tune from the first fret through the higher positions.

The new GPX™ Carbon Treble strings have enhanced durability and won't delaminate (shred) like some other carbon treble strings. Performers report playing these strings over 100 hours before changing sets. GPX™ Carbon Trebles are available as individual strings, treble sets (1st, 2nd, 3rd string) or full sets with Centurion Flex-Core™ bass strings in high, medium, normal and light tension.

None of this makes much difference if you don't like what you hear. James Piorkowski** put it this way,

“These new carbon strings by Oasis are simply wonderful! With warm tone color and plenty of sustain, my guitar is now free to sing sweetly. Thankfully, my search for the optimum string is over. Bravo, Oasis!”

**James Piorkowski is a professor at the Fredonia School of Music, State University of New York, serving as the head of the guitar program since 1983. In 2006, he received both the President's Award for Excellence and the Robert W. Kasling Award for Scholarly and Creative Excellence. He had toured extensively and was an 18 year member of the world renowned Buffalo Guitar Quartet, which was disbanded in 2000. Jim has a world of experience and, most importantly, he is a great guy who served as a sounding board (pun intended) for the development of our GPX™ Carbon Trebles and Centurion Flex-Core™ classical guitar bass strings.

*Carbon trebles are not made from carbon fiber, as some may think. They are made of pvdf (polyvinylidene fluoride), a thermoplastic fluoropolymer with 80% greater density than nylon. This allows for a thinner string to have the same mass as nylon for a given string tension.
