Acoustic Guitar Strings

Acoustic guitar strings are an essential and often overlooked component of guitar playing that contributes greatly to your sound and overall playing efficiency. Acoustic guitar strings come in various formats depending on which style of acoustic guitar you own, and a range of string gauges that can help determine how smooth your playing is, and how you want your instrument to sound. Some of our options available include bronze strings, steel strings and phosphor bronze strings.

Acoustic strings are generally made from bronze or phosphor bronze, the latter generally giving a warmer sound compared with the brightness of bronze. Acoustic strings tend to be heavier than electric equivalents and most string packs range from .010 - .047 for the lighter gauge strings and .013 - .056 for the heaviest set.

We offer steel guitar strings in all standard gauges by D'Addario, Martin, Ernie Ball and Dunlop. Some custom gauges are available from Elixir too. We also offer several types of coated strings from many of the main manufacturers. Coated strings retain their brightness for a longer period of time and just last longer in general. Our staff are always on hand online and in our stores to help, guide and advise with queries you may have about strings or anything else guitar related!
