Acoustic Guitar Strings | Guitar Center

The acoustic guitar is definitely a classic. From basement, to college dorm rooms, to concert halls, acoustic guitars get strummed just about everywhere. Because they're heard all over the world, it's important that they sound great, which is why choosing the right set acoustic guitar strings is so crucial. Whether you're a professional or a hobbyist, quality acoustic guitar strings will always help bring the best out of your instrument. There are a wide variety of options available to you when choosing a set of strings, so it's important to take some time and explore the different styles offered to make sure you have the strings that are best suited to your needs. For example, many sets of strings are sold in bulk, which can be great for touring musicians, as it's important to restring your guitar regularly to keep it sound great. With multiple packages of strings on hand, you won't have to worry about running out before an important show.

When you're choosing your strings, you'll want to make sure they're made of the right material for your guitar. For example, if you're playing classical guitar, you're going to want to pick up strings made of nylon such as the Savarez Corum Alliance 500AJ High Tension Classical Guitar Strings or the Ernie Ball 2406 Ernesto Palla Nylon Black and Silver Classical Acoustic Guitar Strings. On the other hand, if you're playing a more modern acoustic, your options expand greatly and it really comes down to personal preference. From nickel-plated steel to phosphor bronze and everything in between, you'll want to experiment with different strings to really find the best fit for you. String gauge is also a factor to look into. Simply put, strings with a lighter gauge such as the Elixir Nanoweb Custom Light Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings are going to have a brighter tone, whereas strings with a heavier gauge like the ZEBRA Electric-Acoustic Heavy Strings from DR are going to offer serious sustain and bite when you're playing. Again, there are a lot of options to choose from, so it's worth taking the time to try out with different gauges. In the end you'll be glad you did. Your strings play a crucial role in the sound of your guitar, so you want to make sure you have the ones that are right for you. The next time you tune up with the strings that are right for you, your instrument will definitely sound its very best.
