{"title":"Phosphor Bronze","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhosphor Bronze is the standard acoustic set and the widest range we make. A phosphor bronze wrap over a steel core gives a warm, rich tone with clear highs, a full low end and even response across all six strings. If you don't know where to start with an acoustic guitar, start here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe line runs from .009 all the way to .016, and covers six-string, 12-string, baritone and Nashville tuning, so most players find their gauge inside this one collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing a gauge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.012–.054 (P1254 Light) is the industry standard and the safest first choice — enough volume for strumming, still comfortable for fingerstyle.

If you want a light top with a heavier bottom, .011–.052 (P1152 Custom Light) and .012–.056 (P1256 Bluegrass) are built that way, and Bluegrass is the flatpicking set. For maximum volume and projection, .013–.056 (P1356 Medium) is the heaviest six-string in the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutside standard tuning, .016–.070 (P1670B Baritone) is for extended scale guitars and lower tunings, and P1025NT is a high-strung Nashville tuning set for layering under a standard-tuned guitar.
