A versatile 12-53 "light" set with a surprising feel
The 12-53 "Regular Light" gauge is the most popular for acoustic guitar, as it offers a very musical balance between playing comfort, chord definition, and response in both picking and strumming. With the XS 80/20 Bronze, you get this familiar playability but with a soft feel and an even more pronounced sonic brightness, particularly appreciated on guitars that benefit from being highlighted in the mix.
