D'Addario's 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings are the brightest in the market. Developed in the 1930s by John D'Addario Sr. and guitar maker John D'Angelico, they've been a favorite for their sparkling treble tones. These strings are crafted with a high - carbon steel core and 80/20 Bronze wrap wire, offering remarkable depth, rich bright harmonics, and powerful projection. The 11 - 52 Custom Light gauge has more volume and projection than Extra Light strings, yet remains easy to play. Features include precision winding over a hexagonal high - carbon steel core, a bold bright acoustic sound with crisp projection, and a code on the recyclable VCI bag for earning Players Circle points. They're made in the USA at D'Addario's New York facility. Specifications: Uncoated, 6 strings in a set, 80/20 Bronze wrap material, and gauges of .011, .015, .022, .032, .042, .052 (Custom Light).
Using these D'Addario 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings is easy. First, make sure your guitar is in a stable position. Loosen the old strings one by one and remove them. Take the new strings from the recyclable VCI bag. Start with the thickest string and thread it through the bridge and then the tuning peg. Wind the string up until it's tight enough to hold in place. Repeat this for all six strings. Tune your guitar to the desired pitch. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean cloth to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the bright sound for longer. When not in use, keep your guitar in a case to protect the strings from dust and humidity. If you notice the strings losing their brightness or becoming difficult to tune, it might be time to replace them. Also, don't forget to register the code on the VCI bag to earn Players Circle points.
