Bronze Acoustic Guitar
What type of acoustic guitar strings should I get?

I haven’t changed my acoustic guitar strings at all, and I would like to experiment with different sounds. I am familiar that there are 80/20 Bronze, Phosphor Bronze, etc.

The link in the source is something I’ve read before and agree with. Especially note the poster “hawgadi” on 05-14-2006, 06:31 PM. For your convenience, I’ll copy/paste it here, but I recommend reading the whole thread for extra info, e.g. some people recommend against specially coated strings because they’re essentially “dead.”

=============

I kind of liken it to the Rosewood vs. Mahogany thing, in that there are very different interpretations or definitions of what sounds “bright”. If you follow my description below, I liken PB’s to rosewood and 80/20′s to mahogany.

I have some rosewood dreads, and they are generally a bit bassier than their mahogany brother, and generally have more overtones, ring out longer, and to me are brighter through the trebles. The mahogany guitar is clearer throughout the register, with a more fundamental tone, which I think a lot of people describe as “bright”. If you really listed to someone else play the different guitars, the rosewood guitars are brighter and sparkle more, but have more of a “wash” of sound. They are also interestingly enough, warmer through the mids and bass. I think the same is true of PB’s vs. 80/20′s.

The PB’s have more warmth, brightness and overtones. The 80/20′s have more clarity, a more fundamental tone, more bite and cut to the sound. But they aren’t brighter, at least not when they settle down after an hour or two of playing a new set. The difference between clarity, fundamental tone, and cut of both Mahogany and 80/20 strings and the overtones, warmth, brightness and sustain of Rosewood and the PB’s is something I hear described in a lot of ways and often the terms are swapped around. And different people hear different things and certainly describe what they hear differently.

I put PB’s on my Rosewood guitars and 80/20′s on my Mahogany to accentuate the qualities and differences of the different woods.

Guitar Strings: Strumming Isn’t About Just Pulling the Right Strings

There are many musical instruments in this world which blow the minds of people. However, no instrument seems to captivate the minds of the masses such as the guitar does in the world today.

What type of acoustic guitar should I get?

I will get an acoustic guitar for xmas. I am really new to this so I do not really know the differences.

A nylon string guitar is called a classical guitar. It is used almost exclusively for playing classical music. Unless you’re interested in playing classical music, don’t buy one. I think you’d be better off buying a regular steel-string acoustic guitar.

Jumbos and dreads are large guitars that many people, especially women, find too large to play comfortably. I always recommend that people start with a grand concert or auditorium (also called 00 and 000, respectively) size guitar.

There are many fine brands for beginners including Seagull, Yamaha, Epiphone, and Ibanez. Go to a store in your area and have the salesperson play them for you until you find one you like. Try holding it so you can be sure it fits you comfortably.
