There are few sensations that beat the feeling of a fresh set of acoustic guitar strings. The cool, wound metal on your fingertips, the vibrations as you gently strum or pluck the strings—there’s nothing like it.

Aside from the acoustic guitar’s body and the musician playing it, the strings are the most important part of the instrument. The type of guitar string you choose has a profound impact on the sound of your guitar. Bronze strings, for example, offer a clear, bright, and defined sound; phosphor bronze strings, meanwhile, give you a luxurious warmth and richness that doesn’t skimp on the highs.

At Gibson, we offer both Bronze (80% copper, 20% zinc alloy) and Phosphor Bronze acoustic guitar strings. Each acoustic guitar string is wound in high-quality metal that allows your playing to shine through. We also sell coated strings—finished with a thin coat of proprietary polymer—that help extend string life without compromising on tone.

Gibson acoustic guitar strings sound just as immaculate onstage as they do in the studio. The crisp yet warm sound of our strings comes through beautifully when unplugged, put in front of a condenser microphone, or plugged in using a built-in or soundhole pickup.

Beyond the sound, there’s something to be said about the feeling of Gibson guitar strings. Our acoustic strings are made to suit all playing styles. Whether you choose an ultra-light, light, or medium gauge, you’ll find these strings have just the right amount of give; they’re easy to bend, yet stay in tune beautifully.

Even if you don’t play a Gibson acoustic guitar, you can enjoy the benefits of Gibson acoustic strings. From the moment you switch to Gibson strings, the sound and feel of your acoustic will dramatically improve. Of course, if you do play a Gibson, these strings will be a match made in heaven; they’re designed to fit all Gibson Acoustic body types.
