Description
DR’s RARE phosphor bronze strings take a different path than typical bronze sets. Rather than chasing the familiar, DR engineered this alloy to push tone in a new direction—louder, warmer, and carrying a distinct low-end punch that many players find addictive once they hear it ring out of a full-body acoustic.
The low-tension design is the key to their personality. It lets the string move more freely across the top, which translates into fuller sustain and a rounder overall voice. Owners of dreadnaughts, arch-tops, and steel-string guitars built from tonewoods like rosewood, maple, and mahogany tend to notice the biggest gains, with added depth and a longer decay on open chords.
If your playing style calls for volume and low-end weight—strumming that fills a room or fingerstyle that needs the bass notes to bloom—this set is built for that job. It’s not a subtle upgrade; it’s a genuinely different feel and tone from standard phosphor bronze.
- String length: 38″
- Construction: Phosphor bronze wrap over a hexagonal core wire, ball end
- Gauges: .012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .054
A solid pick for anyone wanting more presence and bottom-end body from their acoustic without changing playing technique.
