The Premiere Marketplace for All Things Bowed and Fretted and The Home for David Gage Online Retail
Fretted guitar strings are often referred to by the diameter of the highest strings or the highest and lowest strings. This measurement is made in hundredths of an inch, so in the case of "twelves," the most common high-E diameter in acoustic guitars, twelve refers to .012"
The two most common types of acoustic guitar strings are 80/20 Bronze or Phospher Bronze. At the moment, Phospher Bronze is more popular, by far, but tastes change. 80/20 will become very dark sounding within a few hours of installation, while Phospher Bronze will stay bright for a longer period of time.
