Fender American 60XL Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings 10-48

Warm, responsive acoustic tone with a lighter playing feel

Fender American 60XL phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings are designed for players who prioritise warmth, clarity, and expressive nuance. The phosphor bronze wrap produces a rich, resonant tone with complex overtones, giving chords depth while allowing single notes to bloom naturally. This voicing leans toward a softer, more mellow response, which suits acoustic parts where tonal detail and harmonic balance matter more than sheer volume.

Hex core construction adds definition to the initial attack, helping notes speak clearly without losing the rounded character associated with phosphor bronze. The 10–48 gauge set offers reduced tension compared to heavier acoustic strings, making fretting and bending more comfortable while maintaining enough body for consistent projection. This balance supports dynamic control for fingerstyle passages and light to moderate strumming. Traditional ball ends with colour-coded wraps make restringing quicker and more straightforward, ensuring reliable seating at the bridge. Made in the USA, these strings are built for consistent performance and dependable tone.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think these strings are well suited to singer-songwriters and solo players who value warmth and sensitivity, delivering a relaxed feel and harmonically rich sound that supports intimate acoustic performances.
