The D'Addario NB1253 Nickel Bronze Light Acoustic Strings, a premium uncoated string set engineered to highlight your acoustic guitar's authentic voice. The nickel bronze wrap wire brings out the natural frequencies of your instrument, providing unparalleled clarity, resonance and projection. With outstanding tonal balance and rich harmonics, the NB1253 strings let your guitar's true character shine through. Featuring D'Addario's NY Steel cores, these strings also provide improved tuning stability and durability. The light 12-53 gauge offers comfortable playability and a balanced tone on most acoustic guitars.

Nickel Bronze Wrap Wire Accentuates Your Guitar's Natural Voice

The Nickel Bronze wrap wire is precision engineered to accentuate the natural tone of your acoustic guitar. Rather than coloring the sound, these strings simply amplify your instrument's inherent qualities. The result is a crisp, focused tone that highlights the sonic properties of the guitar's woods.

NY Steel Cores Provide Tuning Stability and Longevity

At the core of the NB1253 strings are D'Addario's proprietary NY Steel cores. These high carbon steel cores provide exceptional tuning stability, string to string balance, and break resistance. You'll spend less time tuning and more time playing.

Light 12-53 Gage Offers Playability and Tonal Balance

The light 12-53 gauge is D'Addario's most popular acoustic string gauge. It provides a comfortable playing feel while producing a balanced tone on most acoustic guitars. The strings are taut enough for clear, ringing notes yet flexible enough for intricate fingerpicking.

Premium Materials and Precision Manufacturing

As with all D'Addario strings, the NB1253 Nickel Bronze Light Acoustic Strings are constructed from the highest quality materials using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. Each string is precision wound and undergoes a proprietary treatment process to maximize tone, tuning stability, and longevity. The result is a premium uncoated string set worthy of any acoustic guitar.
