Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MA180S is a 12-string 80/20 Bronze Extra-Light set with silk-wrapped ball ends. The wraps add a protective layer at the bridge contact point, helping reduce wear to the bridge and bridge plate while you play and when you install a new set. Its high-tensile cores are tin-plated across all twelve strings for corrosion resistance, and the string construction is designed to keep tone consistent through practice and performance schedules.
