John Pearse JP800 — Phosphor Bronze Slack Key Acoustic Strings

The .013-.056 phosphor bronze set hits the right weight for that style.

Ideal For
These strings are a natural fit for acoustic guitarists working in Hawaiian Slack Key traditions, as well as fingerpickers who prefer open tunings and need a medium-gauge string that responds well to bare-finger playing. The phosphor bronze wrap gives the instrument a rounded, woody tone well suited to that repertoire.
