D'Addario EXP12 Coated 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Medium, 13-56

80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings offer a bright tone, thanks to their 80% copper and 20% tin makeup. They're often called 'brass' strings. Back in the 1930s, John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico chose this as the original acoustic string alloy. With more copper and less tin, these strings are a hit for recording because of their crisp, deep, and projecting sound. They also attract traditionalists and vintage lovers due to their historical importance. Wound on a hexagon - shaped high - carbon steel core, they have long - lasting tone and excellent intonation. The EXP series features D'Addario's patented coating that extends string life. A polymer coating is added to the wrap wire before winding on the steel core. These strings sound and feel just like uncoated ones but last at least four times longer.

Using these D'Addario EXP12 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings is easy. First, loosen the old strings and remove them from your guitar. Then, thread the new strings through the bridge and the tuning pegs. Tune your guitar to the right pitch. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. This will also help remove any dirt or sweat. Avoid leaving your guitar in extreme temperatures or high humidity as this can damage the strings. If you notice the tone starting to dull or the strings becoming hard to tune, it might be time to replace them. With proper care, these coated strings can last you a long time.
