Optima Gold differ from regular guitar strings in many ways that ultimately provides greater tone and reliability for the player. Optima begin by selecting the finest laboratory quality steel alloy which is then dipped in 24 Carat Gold twice. This drastically enhances the qualities of the string. Strength - with gold being one of the strongest materials available, the life of the string is greatly extended. This is one of the major reasons Brian May (Queen) has selected Optima as his choice of string - using an old sixpence coin as a plectrum, he requires durability more so than most.
Tone - As you are aware, a new set of strings on a guitar will soon sound lifeless and dull within a couple of days, if that. Gold is a non corrosive material which is why Optima strings will give a brilliant tone, perfect intonation and excellent sustain for far longer. They will look and sound bright even after long periods of inactivity/storage - perfect for those higher priced guitars that sit in the glass display cabinets for months on end!
