D’Addario NB1152 Nickel Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Strings

The D’Addario NB1152 Nickel Bronze Custom Light acoustic guitar strings, the first nickel bronze strings from the celebrated string maker. The NB1152 set is engineered to bring out the unique character of your acoustic guitar. The nickel bronze alloy produces clear, focused tone that magnifies the sonic qualities of the wood. Combined with D’Addario’s NY Steel cores, these strings provide unparalleled resonance, outstanding projection and harmonically rich overtones. The NB1152 set is the premium uncoated string for players seeking to unlock their guitar’s natural voice.

Nickel Bronze Wrap Wire Enhances Natural Resonance

The NB1152 set features nickel bronze wrap wire designed specifically for acoustic guitars. The innovative alloy adds warmth and depth without coloring the tone, allowing the natural frequencies of the guitar’s wood to ring through. The result is a crisp, balanced sound with shimmering high end and a throaty midrange. Compared to traditional phosphor bronze strings, the nickel bronze produces superior clarity and definition.

NY Steel Cores Improve Tuning Stability

At the core of the NB1152 strings are D’Addario’s NY Steel cores, chosen for their durability and ability to hold pitch. The high-carbon steel cores are precision drawn to tight tolerances, reducing string breakage by up to 13% compared to traditional plain steel cores. The corrosion-resistant cores also have enhanced magnetic properties for a wider range of tone when used with magnetic pickups. Overall, the NY Steel cores provide a stable tuning platform for the nickel bronze wrap wire.

Custom Light Gage for Playability and Volume

The NB1152 set features a custom light 11-52 gauge that balances tone, playability and volume. The lighter top strings are comfortable and flexible under the fingers, while the heavier bottom strings provide a robust bass response and driving sound suitable for a range of musical styles. The custom light gauge also helps the nickel bronze wrap wire reach its full tonal potential, allowing the alloy’s resonant qualities to blossom.
