Acoustic Guitar Strings

Metal strings for acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars are intended for dreadnought, jumbo and other types of 'western' guitars. When purchasing strings, pay attention to their thickness; .011 and .12 sets are most commonly used for acoustic guitars, thinner strings are especially appreciated by beginners, and thicker strings are used by those looking for a truly strong tone. The tone is influenced by the material from which metal strings are made.
