Fender70L 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Strings - Light
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Light gauge 80/20 bronze acoustic strings at a low per-set price. A practical restring choice for regular players and stocking spares.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Routine restrings on a steel-string acoustic
- Players who want a brighter, more cutting acoustic tone
- Keeping spare sets in the case or gig bag
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical or nylon-string guitars
- Electric guitars — bronze does not drive magnetic pickups well
- Players who want warmer tone or long life between changes

Light gauge
Easier to fret and bend than medium, with slightly less volume and low-end push. The common all-round acoustic choice.
Detail 03
Steel-string acoustic set
Wound with a bronze alloy over a steel core. Meant for acoustic guitars, not nylon-string or electric.
Detail 04
Ball end
Standard ball ends seat in acoustic bridge pins. No loop-end or tie-on adaptation needed.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between 80/20 bronze and phosphor bronze?
80/20 is brighter and more cutting when fresh. Phosphor bronze is warmer and holds its tone longer. 80/20 suits players who like a crisp top end.
02Can I use these on an electric guitar?
No. Bronze is not magnetic enough for electric pickups, so output will be weak and uneven. Use nickel or steel electric strings instead.
03Will light gauge work on my acoustic?
Light is the standard gauge most steel-string acoustics ship with. If you are coming down from medium, expect slightly lower action and check the neck relief.
04How many strings are in the set?
Six, one full set for a standard six-string acoustic. Buy multiple sets if you want spares or change strings often.
