Abstract
The present invention relates generally to musical instrument strings, and in particular to improved musical instrument strings for guitars and the like, having longitudinal wrappings and/or surface contours to provide improved tactile response without adversely affecting the string tonal quality or producing undesirable noise. Improved musical instrument strings may have cores of metal wire, or may be composed of a synthetic material having a longitudinally contoured exterior surface and optionally a core impregnated with either a non-random dispersion of additive particles.
