SIGNATURE SETS

A hybrid gauge set, designed to Michael Amott’s exact specifications. Michael Amott is known for his involvement with a number of death metal/hard rock bands — namely Arch Enemy, Spiritual Beggars and Carcass. These signature strings are excellent for achieving wide vibrato, memorable melodic lead lines and furious sledgehammer riffs.

Hybrid Power

“They have great tone, they stay in tune, they don’t break easily. What more do you want? I rely on my MA11 Rotosound strings every night on stage and in the recording studios. Rotosound shreds.” Michael Amott

Great British quality

Manufactured in the UK to precise tolerances and using only the finest materials, you can rely on Rotosound strings for consistent tone and performance in every packet.

Every Roto string is manufactured on custom built machines designed and built in the UK by Jason How.

Iconic music strings

This innovation continues Rotosound’s proud legacy of cutting-edge string design that started with our roundwound strings in the sixties.

Developed in conjunction with some of the world's top artists, Rotosound strings are synonymous with timeless tone, longevity and rock history.

Started in 1958 by James How, an engineer who made strings for his own instruments, Rotosound became known around the world for its superior quality products and famous endorsees such as Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Queen to name just a few. The Who’s John Entwistle started a long partnership with James and helped develop the Swing Bass roundwound strings which have become the industry standard.

Gathering the most prominent artists over the following decades from Jaco Pastorius to The Edge, Oasis to Guthrie Govan, Rotosound has been the go-to string for every music generation.
