{"title":"Golden Bronze 80\/20","description":"\u003cp\u003eGolden Bronze is the bright end of our acoustic range. An 80% copper, 20% zinc wrap over a hard-tempered hex core gives more top-end shimmer, faster attack and sharper note separation than phosphor bronze. It is the sound most players picture when they think of a brand new set of acoustic strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat clarity is why it records well and why it holds its own in a room with other instruments. If your guitar already sounds bright, phosphor bronze may suit it better; if it sounds dark or muddy, 80\/20 is usually the fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing a gauge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.012–.052 (GB1252 Light) is the most popular set and the balanced starting point.
