Steel strings* are designed with material and gauge variations to enhance playing styles and sounds. For example, phosphor bronze strings have a mellow sound, while 80/20 strings have a brighter sound. Lighter gauge strings are great for fingerstyle and lead players, while heavier gauges are best suited for hard strumming. It’s a good idea to play around with different brands, materials and sizes to find your steel string sweet spot!
