A full, clear, and durable 12-string sound
The Gibson Coated Phosphor Bronze 12-String strings are designed to reveal the full character of a 12-string acoustic: controlled brightness, lush clarity, and superior warmth, while maintaining excellent balance between the pairs. Thanks to the high-carbon steel hex core, you enjoy a satisfying feel of tension and stability, with precise response under the fingers.

The light gauge facilitates open chords, rhythmic accompaniment, and arpeggios, while remaining versatile for both stage and studio. A safe choice if you seek a defined, musical, and consistent tone over hours of playing.
