BlackSmith has been a trusted manufacturer of the highest quality guitar frets in the world since 1984. Some of their most prestigious clients include industry leaders. After many years of success in fret production, BlackSmith decided to transfer their own concepts to the production of strings for electric, acoustic and bass guitars. BlackSmith strings are now available in over 20 countries worldwide!

Every BlackSmith string is the result of years of engineering and testing by professional guitarists. They are precision engineered to exacting specifications using the highest quality steel, nickel and bronze made in the USA, then packaged in a proprietary package and vacuum sealed.

BlackSmith’s engineering team began by researching other string manufacturing techniques – both machine and hand – collecting data and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each option. After a full review of today’s most popular brands, BlackSmith decided to create their own custom solution that, through computerized operation and careful supervision, virtually eliminates core vibration during the stringing process. This allows BlackSmith to produce strings with unmatched consistency and ensure accurate intonation and tuning stability. For players looking for extended string life and durability, but with the same build quality and tone of uncoated strings, BlackSmith has also developed exclusive Nano-Carbon Shield strings. Ordinary uncoated strings for electric, acoustic and bass guitars are commonly damaged by dirt, debris, moisture and skin. These particles stick to the windings during playing, contaminating the strings, dulling the tone and shortening the lifespan. BlackSmith Nano-Carbon protection acts as a physical barrier between the string and these harmful contaminants – but offers the brighter sound and feel of uncoated strings. In addition to extending the life of your strings, BlackSmith Nano-Carbon Shield reduces fret wear and won’t flake like other string coatings.

BlackSmith’s unrivaled combination of world-class materials, innovative engineering, state-of-the-art manufacturing technology and patented packaging provide all guitarists worldwide with the highest levels of tone, playability, intonation, durability and tuning stability – all at an unbeatable price!
