Fresh out of the pack it has a zing and a scooped, ringing quality that phosphor bronze does not, which is why it gets used heavily on recordings and for strumming parts that need to cut through a mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe catch with uncoated 80\/20 has always been that the brightness is the first thing to go, sometimes within days. Coating the string is the direct answer to that, and NANOWEB is thin enough to keep the character rather than smothering it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCustom Light .011-.052 is a lighter than standard lay.

Phosphor bronze is warmer and fuller through the mids with a rounder low end. Neither is better, they suit different guitars and different parts. If your guitar already sounds bright, phosphor bronze usually balances it better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Is This Pack For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcoustic players on a light gauge who want brightness and buy in quantity.

Anti-Rust Plating on the plain steels protects the rest of the set. The result is fewer string changes and a set that still sounds like itself weeks in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre these genuine Elixir Strings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Victory is a veteran owned dealer in Miami and units ship new in original packaging, sealed by Elixir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill Custom Light gauge sound thin on a dreadnought?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt will be a little quieter and looser than a .012-.053 set, which some players want and some do not. On a dreadnought that you strum hard, standard Light is usually the better match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre all three sets the same gauge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, all three are Custom Light .011-.052.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo these work on a 12 string?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a six string set. A 12 string needs a dedicated 12 string set with the octave strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy From Victory Musical Instruments?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictory Musical Instruments is an authorized Elixir dealer and a musician-run shop in Miami, FL.
