80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings offer a bright tone, thanks to their composition of 80% copper and 20% tin. Often called “brass” strings, they were the original acoustic string alloy chosen by John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico in the 1930s. These strings are great for recording because of their crisp, deep, and projecting sound. With less copper and more tin than phosphor bronze, they have a unique tone. They're also a hit with traditionalists and vintage lovers due to their historical value. Like all D'Addario acoustic strings, the 80/20 ones are wound on a hexagon - shaped, high - carbon steel core. This gives them a long - lasting, bright sound and excellent intonation.
Using these D'Addario 80/20 bronze acoustic guitar strings is straightforward. First, remove the old strings from your guitar. Then, thread the new strings through the bridge and the tuning pegs. Tune your guitar to the right pitch. When you're playing, these strings will give you a great, bright sound. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean cloth to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep their bright tone for longer. Avoid exposing the strings to extreme humidity or temperature, as it can affect their quality. If you notice the tone starting to dull or the strings feeling rough, it might be time to replace them.
