D'Addario NB1253 Nickel Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings (12-53 Light)

D'Addario lists the set as ideal for all genres, bluegrass and fingerstyle. The nickel plating adds natural corrosion resistance, which D'Addario credits for a longer-lasting uncoated string. Each set comes in a recyclable VCI bag with a code you can register for Players Circle points, and the strings are made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility. The same 12-53 gauge is also made in D'Addario's phosphor bronze range as the EJ16.
