Gypsy jazz guitar strings – Optima Hot Club Gypsyfire

Gypsyfire guitar strings from Optima

Optima Gypsyfire guitar strings are available as six-string sets for gypsy jazz guitar. Choose your gauge and end type to match your instrument.

Choose the right version

Hot Club Gypsyfire sets come in 10-45, 11-46 and 12-50 gauges. The numbers indicate the diameters of the thinnest and thickest strings in thousandths of an inch.

Next, choose ball ends or loop ends to suit your guitar’s tailpiece. Select both options to display the matching price, availability and package image.

First, compare these specifications with the strings currently on your instrument. This gives you a useful starting point when choosing a replacement. Then check the available options before adding the product to your cart.

Plan your next string change

If you want to keep a familiar playing feel, start with the specifications of your current set. However, if you plan to change gauge, material or tension, check your instrument maker’s recommendations first. Your teacher or repair technician can also help you choose a suitable setup.

During installation, bring each string up to pitch gradually. Then check the tuning again before playing. A change in your string setup may require an adjustment to maintain comfortable action and accurate intonation.

Handcrafted in Germany

Optima makes its strings by hand in Germany using premium materials. The brand brings more than 100 years of string-making experience to its range for musical instruments.
