A set designed to keep the "new sound" longer
The Fender Dura-Tone Coated Phosphor Bronze strings combine the tonal character of phosphor bronze - full, warm, and musical - with a coating designed to reduce wear over hours of playing. The result: a clear attack, balanced sustain, and a more consistent feel session after session, even if you play frequently or in conditions that quickly wear out strings.
