Rotosound Guitar Strings

Rotosound strings are a British institution, favored by players who need durability and bright attack under heavy playing conditions. Tony Iommi's custom-gauge Rotosound sets — compensating for his shortened fingertips with lighter gauges and banjo strings on the top — enabled the fluid bending and vibrato that made his playing sing despite the physical limitation. The nickel roundwound construction provides the brightness needed to cut through down-tuned, high-gain amplifier settings without losing note definition.
