Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a 12-string acoustic that takes a Light set, the MA190 uses 80/20 Bronze strings with paired gauges running from .012 to .054. Its core wire is tin-plated across all strings for corrosion resistance, and the set is designed around demanding rehearsal and performance use. The construction pairs high-tensile core wire with quality wrap wire to support a consistent tone from one song to the next.
