Our collection of guitar strings at PMT is curated to cover all the bases, whether you’re aiming for a signature crisp, bright sound or something warmer and more rounded. We stock strings from trusted brands like D’Addario, Elixir, and Martin, known for their durability and tonal range. Elixir strings, for example, come with a protective coating to keep them sounding and feeling fresh for longer, while D’Addario’s popular phosphor bronze sets offer that rich, deliciously balanced tone that acoustic players love.

Whether you’re shopping for your acoustic or electric guitar, the strings you pick can impact your sound, influence your playing style and open new doors to creativity. When it comes to acoustic guitars and guitar string gauges, it’s all about finding what feels right under your fingers. 

Lighter gauges, like .010 or .011, are easy on the fretting hand and ideal for more delicate playing, while medium or heavy gauge strings give you more volume and sustain for strumming. With plenty of options right here, from ultra-light to extra-heavy sets, finding the perfect balance of playability and tone has never been easier.

Acoustic guitar strings - FAQs

  • How often should you change strings on an acoustic guitar?

    It depends on how often you play, but most guitarists will tell you the general rule is to change your strings every 2 to 3 months. When you do, you’ll immediately notice how much easier it is to play.

  • Is it okay to use electric guitar strings on acoustic?

    While you can technically put electric guitar strings on an acoustic, we wouldn’t recommend it. Acoustic strings are designed to produce the right amount of tension and resonance for acoustic guitars.

  • What gauge strings do most acoustic guitarists use?

    Most acoustic guitarists tend to go for light to medium gauge strings, usually in the .012 to .053 range. These provide a nice balance between playability and tone, offering enough tension for strumming without being too tough on your fingers.

  • Should I get light or heavy acoustic guitar strings?

    It really depends on your playing style. Light strings are easier to fret and great for fingerpicking, arpeggios or delicate playing, while heavier strings offer more volume and sustain, making them the way to go for hard strumming and projection.
