Beginning with an idea suggested by longtime Dean Markley Strings endorser George Lynch, the string winders and designers at Markley have come up with a new string with a decidedly old school sound—Super V (Super Vintage) Strings. Super V strings utilize a special formula Nickel and Steel alloy, as well as customized core-to-wrap ratios to create a string like no other in the Markley catalog. For players who want more power & punch with a Vintage tone. A special 48% Iron / 52% Nickel alloy produces a much stronger magnetic output for electric guitar pickups. The result is a louder output with incredible sustain.
