Tru Bronze Acoustic Extra Light | 10-50

Our alternative acoustic guitar string to the 92/8 bronze Jumbo King series. A crystal clear resonance would describe this string’s character very well.

Comprising 80/20 brass wire covers, these strings offer the resonant advantages of this material coupled with considerable clarity and tone.

beyond the Bronze age

One of the earliest copper based materials used for acoustic strings was the 80/20 brass series from around the 1940s. It is commonly referred to as “yellow bronze”.

Comprised of 80% copper and 20% zinc, it offers a zingy bright top end with strong bass frequencies and a scooped mid-range.
