But he has decided for the SOUND OF GOLD and we are proud that our strings have made, and still make, a small contribution to Brian May‘s great success. Frank Zappa played this exclusive set, and you don‘t have to explain that he was successful with it. We have this series revived, so now everyone can be a little like Frank Zappa. BRIAN MAY Signature is a coordinated set which was developed specifically with and for Brian. A highlight of the art of making strings. But also the best strings can become better. Our BRIAN MAY 24K GOLD Strings now have a new core material which is more tearproof and which improves the tuning stability significantly. 24K GOLD STRINGS „BRIAN MAY“ 24K GOLD STRINGS „FRANK ZAPPA“ GPS009 e' 1 .009 GPS008 e' 1 .008 GPS011 b2 .011 GPS010 b2 .010 GPS016 g3 .016 GPS013 g3 .013 GEBM024 d4 .024w GE024 d4 .024w GEBM032 A5 .032 GE032 A5 .032 GEBM042 E6 .042 GE046 E6 .046 2028.BM set Brian May 2028.FZ set Frank Zappa www.optima-strings.com 1 2016 E-GUITAR 24K GOLD E-GUITAR 24K GOLD Art.
