  • The Dean Markley Vintage Bronze 12-String Acoustic Guitar Strings are premium-grade, highly resonant strings engineered specifically to meet the high-tension demands of 12-string acoustic guitars.
  • Utilizing Dean Markley’s original 1972 formula, these strings are wound with a specialized 85/15 Vintage Bronze alloy (85% copper, 15% zinc) over a precision-drawn hexagonal core wire.
  • This specific metallurgical configuration strikes a perfect sonic balance, delivering a warm, rich tone paired with the bright, shimmering clarity required to make all 12 strings articulate beautifully without sounding muddy.
Features
  • Original 85/15 Vintage Bronze Wrap: Combining 85% copper with 15% zinc creates an alloy that bridges the gap between ultra-bright 80/20 bronze and deep phosphor bronze.
  • This unique compound is ideal for traditional acoustic genres, folk, country, and roots music, yielding an organic, worn-in vintage voice right out of the box.
  • Full 12-String Complementary Matching: Packaged as a complete 12-string matching set to accommodate primary and octave string pairings perfectly.
  • This balanced tension setup is perfectly optimized for multi-octave acoustic strumming, studio recording, and live ensemble performances where every single note needs clean separation.
  • Proprietary Hex Core Engineering: The outer bronze wrap wire is wound tightly around a high-tensile, diamond-drawn hexagonal core wire.
  • This structural design is essential for stable tuning retention, preventing core slippage, and ensuring structural longevity under the immense physical load of a 12-string bridge.
  • Smooth Tactile Response & Control: Designed to provide an easier, more forgiving feel under the fingers during long sessions compared to stiff, heavy-gauge alternatives.
  • This playability configuration offers excellent comfort for singer-songwriters, fingerstyle guitarists, and intermediate players executing large chord formations.
  • Superior Acoustic Sustain & Projection: The inherent resonant qualities of the true bronze wrap maximize the natural wood vibrations of your guitar's soundboard. It serves as the definitive restringing upgrade for full-bodied dreadnought, jumbo, and auditorium 12-string guitars needing huge projection and long-decaying chord sustain.
