Detail 01
10-47 gauge
Extra light. The thinnest common acoustic set, so fretting takes less pressure but the string moves more when hit hard.

D'AddarioEJ15 Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Strings - Extra Light (10-47)
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single set of extra light phosphor bronze acoustic strings, 10-47. For acoustic players who want the least resistance under the fingers.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Beginners whose fingertips are still toughening up
- Small-bodied or short-scale acoustics that don't need heavy tension
- Fingerstyle players who want light strings under the picking hand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard strummers — extra light sets buzz and go sharp
- Electric guitars, which need steel-core strings for pickups
- Players wanting maximum volume and low-end from a dreadnought
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
Phosphor bronze
Copper alloy with phosphor added, which slows corrosion compared to plain bronze. A common choice for acoustic wound strings.
Detail 03
Acoustic guitar strings
Bronze wrap projects acoustically but is not magnetic, so these won't drive a standard electric guitar pickup.
Detail 04
Extra light tension
Less pull on the top and neck. Useful on older or lightly built instruments where heavy sets add strain.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One set of six strings — no winder, tuner, or cutters included
- 02Dropping to extra light usually needs a truss rod and action recheck
- 03Won't work with electric guitar magnetic pickups
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are these too light for a dreadnought?
They'll work, but a dreadnought is built for more tension. Expect less volume and more buzz if you strum hard.
02What does phosphor bronze do?
It's the wrap alloy. The phosphor content resists corrosion, so the strings hold up longer against sweat and air than plain bronze.
03Can I put these on an electro-acoustic?
Yes, if it uses a piezo or mic-based pickup. Bronze strings won't work with a magnetic soundhole pickup.
04Do I need to adjust my guitar after switching?
If you're coming from a heavier set, likely yes. Less tension means less neck relief, which can cause buzzing until the truss rod is adjusted.
