The Korena take
Built for 12-string acoustic players who want a protective detail at each string change. The MA500S set uses phosphor bronze, extra-light gauges, and silk at the ball ends. That silk layer is designed to limit playing-related wear where the strings meet the bridge and bridge plate. Its paired gauge layout supplies the full 12-string set: 10-10 through 47-27.
