The original PB*Round was designed by Guadalupe Custom Strings founder, Francisco Gonzalez.  I continue to make the formula for Phosphor Bronze 13 gauge strings today.  I built the rest of the line of acoustic from extensive testing and feedback from both players and luthiers. This line definitely builds on the classic punchy sound of the PB*Round string set while offering consistent tone and more durability without the use of any additives or coatings.   For Resonators, I recommend 13 or 14 gauge PhosphorBronze, remember to opt for Tailpiece length strings which feature the stronger and tighter LongTwists.   I personally love the result of Brass 12s on Taylor x14 sized guitars and Brass 13s on Gibson J45s.   Now available in Nashville Tuning The Gabriel Tenorio String Company is dedicated to the evolution and further dissemination of the string making tradition established by Francisco Gonzalez, founder of Guadalupe Custom Strings. As a partner in Guadalupe Custom Strings, I insisted on only making round core strings--for all its lines. With remarkable results, it was only natural to revisit old acoustic formulae such as the PB 13s, known as Phosphor*Rounds and the Gypsy Jazz ManoucheTone Strings to learn from what made them so distinctive in tone and quality.  I went on to create an entire brand new line of electric guitar strings along with a slew of other steel stringed instruments. I didn't try to make something new, just something good. But it wasn't enough to just be good enough, I wanted to make the best fitting string possible, the way Francisco had many years a go when he made my first set of custom Requinto Romantico strings--in front of my very own eyes--based on what i was doing as a guitarist and what i wanted to get from my experience as a musician. That experience has left a long lasting mark. It took years of research and testing of set after set.  Then reconceptualizing a custom shop type of business into something I could share with the professional musician, at large. Over the last year at GCS, I was able to develop this model while developing my lines of products. I am proud to have had the positive response of 2014 and 2015.  2016 marks the birth of this new company, theGTS,co theGTSco uses only the finest first-drawn wire and are 100% made by hand in the USA. The Gabriel Tenorio String Company will continue to work alongside The Guadalupe Custom Strings team at the CustomLab location in East Los Angeles. We share a tradition, a part of a community of artists and artisans, and we share the joy of working collaboratively.

Gig Bag to go with our Rivolta Guitars

Our Power unit is the perfect way to integrate a power connection right to your pedalboard and also incorporate a dedicated on/off switch. We start with a top quality IEC male connector and solder a 22 inch straight female lead onto it and cover the solder connections with an insulated cover. Simply remove the small cover plate and screw to your Elevation V2 outer plate with the required hardware. Power Features: IEC Connection  On/Off switch 22" straight connector lead FAQs: Is this a power supply? No. This is simple a way to relocate the connector from your existing power supply to the side of your pedalboard.  Is this rated for 120v or 220v? Both. There is no circuitry involved so this connection can work anywhere in the world. Just be sure to check that your power supply is when traveling. What power supplies will this work with? This will work with most common isolated power supplies like Strymon, Voodoo Lab, True Tone One Spot units and Walrus Audio or any other PSU with an IEC connector.

In 2016 we released The Elevation Series. It received accolades from touring pros to weekend warriors all around the globe, and for good reason. Its unibody design was incredibly strong and self-supportive, yet extremely lightweight. Its hand crafted end panels were classy, but subtle. But over the years, we've been quietly working on some big improvements and we think we've done just that. Modular. In 2017, with the release of our Pro Elevation Series, we introduced a simple patch box and also incorporated that method into our Custom Shop models as well. Every box was drilled and laser etched for each order. We quickly realized that a modular system would streamline this process. When designing our modular system, we wanted to make ours aesthetically pleasing as well as ruggedly durable. All Elevation Series V2 boards come with 1 outer plate for mounting modules and 2 inner cover plates on each end. Simply remove the cover plate and install one of our proprietary modules. We believe this is the cleanest and most durable way to offer a modular system.  Slots. In 2018 we released the Aero Series with a very carefully laid out slot pattern and multiple handle holes. We pulled heavily on our years of experience building rigs for touring pros with extreme cable management. We wanted to mimic this capability on the Elevation V2. There are plenty of openings for cable management, but not so many to get in the way of mounting pedals. An added bonus is this makes the weight of the frame go down even more. It's not dramatic, but it may just save you from having to remove a pedal when you check it with the airline. Strength. As mentioned above, the Elevation has always been praised for its strength while remaining incredibly lightweight. This hasn't changed. It's only gotten better. By adding removable vertical braces on the larger sizes (24x12.5, 24x16, 32x16) they are more solid than ever.  Quality. Finally, with our Elevation V2, we wanted to maintain the quality that has become synonymous with the Creation Music brand. All aluminum parts are made from 5052 aircraft grade aluminum. Our powder coat is rock solid and done by a local company we're proud to partner with. Our wooden ends are top grade American Black Walnut and are finished by hand.
