Product Description

Product Description

DR Strings Rare phosphor-bronze acoustic guitar strings offer the loud and warm character discerning players look for in a low-tension acoustic guitar string. Our painstaking compression-winding technique gives Rare strings enhanced attack and sustain, as well as a super-smooth feel under your fingers. No matter what type of acoustic guitar you play, you’ll immediately notice an overall fatter and louder sound with Rare guitar strings. Single notes benefit from enhanced weight and punch, while chords ring out longer and with warm harmonic complexity. If you’re looking for strings that will give your acoustic guitar a bolder voice, you’ll be impressed with DR Strings Rare phosphor-bronze acoustic guitar strings. Players tell us, “The sound is amplified and every note is so full and beautiful. I feel like I'm playing a harp.”

From the Manufacturer

RARE™ Acoustic Guitar Strings utilize a phosphor bronze wrap wire over a hexagonal high-carbon steel core. The result is warm, bright and balanced tone with an overall fatter and louder sound with a deep bottom end. Acoustic guitars of all types seem to benefit from a distinct improvement in tone, depth, and sustain.

Beautiful, bold, rich, LOUD
For my first time changing my strings since I've had this guitar, I'm pretty impressed.These strings are seriously rich and loud. My gosh, what a difference. I usually play during my lunch break and I try to play quietly because my boyfriend is doing schoolwork in the other room - and let me tell you, I'm having a hard time playing quietly with these. The sound is amplified and every note is so full and beautiful. I feel like I'm playing a harp.They're not too bad on my fingers, either. I'm a relative beginner and had a hard time with new strings in the past, but these haven't really cut my fingers at all. I don't dread playing anymore for that reason.These were such a good purchase! I think these are my go-to strings now. They came in very clearly marked packages and changing them out was a breeze. Absolutely no complaints!
