PHOSPHOR BRONZE STRINGS WITH ELIXIR® TECHNOLOGY FOR LONGEST-LASTING TONE

Play for longer without compromising tone and feel with what experienced players worldwide say are the best acoustic guitar string on the market.

  • Smooth feel from featherweight NANOWEB® Technology enhances playability and reduces finger squeak
