My favorite strings at the moment, so I’m biased. Unlike Fremont Blackline, the Clears only come in one flavor. (And it’s a delicious flavor!). A set of high G strings is about $7. A single unwound low G is about $3.

The moment I played a set was one of those cartoonishly “ah-ha! Eureka!” experiences. Everything felt and sounded perfect.

The strings feel gentle and responsive under the fingers, unlike Aquilas which feel heavy and dull to me. Hammer-ons and pull-offs are so easy and clear. I can play with much more nuance than with Aquilas or heavier fluorocarbon. (Mind you I play quietly by myself, so I don’t know how these would sound where volume is required in a group or performing.)

Try a set of the Fremonts if you have arthritis or strength issues in your hands, or neuropathy, or are just frustrated by strings that require pedal-to-the-metal amounts of power to play.
