EJ52's are designed and gauged for the smaller-scale, Alto Guitar. These normal tension strings provide a rich, deep and projecting tone. All Pro-Arté treble strings are computer controlled by an X-Y laser microscope which performs diameter and tension measurements, ensuring true-sounding, precise trebles in every set. Pro-Arté basses are wound using silver-plated copper on a multi-filament nylon core for consistent and warm, yet projecting tone.
