What strings does a baritone acoustic guitar use?

Question

Accepted Answer

Most baritone acoustics are tuned B to B, a fourth below standard (B E A D F# B, low to high), so they need heavier gauges than a regular acoustic set. S.I.T. makes Phosphor Bronze P1670B (.016–.070) for baritone acoustic. A standard acoustic set tuned that low feels loose and floppy, buzzes, and loses its tone. Baritone gauges stay firm and clear at the lower pitch.Our baritone acoustic set: Phosphor Bronze P1670B. Gauges .016 (B) .022 (F#) .030 (D) .048 (A) .060 (E) .070 (B). Phosphor bronze over a high carbon steel hex core: warm and balanced, with a full low end.Tuned differently? Some players tune a baritone acoustic to A or C instead of B. Our Phosphor Bronze singles go up to .070, so you can adjust individual strings, or contact us for help picking gauges.Playing an electric baritone instead?
