About 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! Shop our selection of the best acoustic guitar strings available at guitarguitar.

Why Should I Change My Acoustic Guitar Strings?

  • Improve your tone
  • Prevent string breakages
  • Steel guitar strings provide smoother playing

Frequently Asked Questions about Acoustic Guitar Strings

Question: Do different acoustic guitar body shapes require different gauges of strings?
Not really, it's much more about what you'd like to play on in terms of string gauge. Having said that, it is true that heavier strings will make the guitar's body resonate more and therefore hopefully sound better but this is largely subjective. By the same token, using gauge 10 acoustic strings on a Jumbo bodied guitar is perhaps not going to get the most from that large body but it really is personal choice at the end of the day.
Question: What type of acoustic guitar strings should I get?
The type of acoustic guitar strings you get will depend on your level of experience, playing style and the kind of sound you're looking to achieve. Lighter strings will provide an easier playing experience and brighter sound, but will come at the cost of control and warmth and vice versa.
Question: What is the standard acoustic guitar gauge?
Generally speaking, gauge 12 strings are thought of as standard gauge for acoustic guitars. That does not mean that this is what you need to stick to - lots of guitarists prefer lighter and heavier gauges. Gauge 12 strings are what most acoustic guitars ship with and are a happy medium. They are a good starting point.
Question: What acoustic guitar strings are best?
The best acoustic guitar strings will vary depending on your level of experience, playing style and your preferred sound, however the D'Addario EJ16 Light Acoustic 12-53 are a very popular and well-rounded set of strings.
Question: What are the easiest to play acoustic guitar strings?
The easiest acoustic guitar strings to play are strings that are lighter. The lighter the string gauge, the less pressure and finger strength needed to fret the strings.
