Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: Is there a difference in sound between Red and Clear nylon?
-
A: Yes, red nylon is often described as having a slightly "harder" and more percussive attack, which helps flamenco techniques cut through with more clarity.
-
Q: Will the red color rub off on my fretboard?
-
A: No, the color is part of the nylon material itself, so it will not bleed or stain your fingers or the guitar.
-
Q: How long do these strings stay bright?
-
A: Thanks to La Bella's high-quality silver-plating and MAP packaging, these strings maintain their "snap" and brilliance through extensive playing sessions.
