About Acoustic Guitar Strings
Guitar strings are arguably one of the most crucial components to shaping your guitar’s tone. You can choose between light, heavy, and a mix of gauges, each with their own tone and feel.

Acoustic Guitar String FAQs
What's the difference between phosphor bronze and 80/20 bronze strings?
Phosphor bronze and 80/20 bronze are the two main acoustic guitar string formulations at Sweetwater. Phosphor bronze strings are said to provide a warm, rich, full-bodied tone with focused fundamentals. 80/20 strings tend to be a little brighter and harmonically rich, making them a time-tested recipe for modern country, pop, and rock.
Do coated acoustic guitar strings sound different?
Some acoustic guitar strings are available in coated versions — meaning there is a physical barrier on the strings to protect against wear and corrosion. This coating helps repel dead skin, oil, sweat, and dirt, keeping the strings sounding fresher for longer. Note that this coating often causes the strings to sound and feel different than uncoated strings. Our advice? Try a set of coated and uncoated strings and see which ones you prefer.
