D'AddarioEJ10 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - Extra Light (10-47)
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
80/20 bronze acoustic set in extra light 10-47. The easiest-playing standard gauge, and the cheapest way to test a lighter feel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Beginners building calluses on a stiff-feeling acoustic
- Small-body or parlor guitars that choke under heavier gauges
- Fingerstyle players who bend and want low tension
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard flatpickers — thin strings rattle and lose volume
- Players wanting deep low end from a dreadnought
- Anyone tuning down, where 10s go slack fast
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
80/20 bronze wrap
Bright and cutting when fresh, and it dulls faster than phosphor bronze. Plan on changing them more often.
Detail 03
Ball end
Standard bridge-pin acoustic fitment. No adapters or modification needed.
Detail 04
Steel-string set
Not for classical or nylon-string guitars. The tension would damage the top.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Dropping to 10s reduces neck tension — relief and action usually need a check
- 02Light strings buzz more if your action is set low
- 03Set only. No picks, winder, or cutters in the box
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are extra lights good for a beginner?
Yes. Lower tension means less finger pressure to fret, which makes early practice sessions longer and less painful.
02What does 80/20 bronze mean?
The wrap wire is 80 percent copper, 20 percent zinc. It sounds brighter than phosphor bronze and loses that brightness sooner.
03Will these buzz on my guitar?
Possibly. Thinner strings vibrate wider and sit lower in tension. If your action is already low, expect some fret buzz until it is adjusted.
04Can I put these on an electric guitar?
No. These are bronze-wound acoustic strings and magnetic pickups barely respond to them.
