  • Longer playing life thanks to corrosion resistance
  • Balanced tension suits strumming and fingerpicking
  • Reliable performance reduces replacement frequency
  • 12-54 gauge delivers voluminous acoustic projection

Prohibition Bronze Alloy

D'Angelico Prohibition Bronze strings use an 85/15 copper-zinc blend to produce rich, warm acoustic tones. The medium-light gauge set spans .012 to .054 for balanced tension across the neck. They suit players who want vintage-inspired clarity without harsh brightness.

Sustained Playing Response

The alloy resists corrosion so the vibrant tone holds through long rehearsals and gigs. Consistent projection remains steady as the strings settle under tension. Players who need immediate break-in brilliance may find the initial warmth deepens further with time.

Build and Everyday Handling

Smooth feel under the fingers supports both strumming and fingerpicking without excess drag. The durable construction reduces how often sets must be changed, saving setup time. Guitarists who prefer heavier gauges for drop tunings will need a different set.

Questions about this item

Do the 85/15 bronze strings produce noticeable finger noise during long sessions?

The 85/15 bronze alloy is designed for smooth playability and reduced finger squeak, so extended practice or gigs stay comfortable without harsh overtones.

What guitar setup do I need before installing the 12-54 medium-light set?

A standard acoustic guitar with a bridge and nut slotted for .012–.054 gauges will accept the set; no special tools or modifications are required.

Will the 12-54 gauges work on a vintage parlor guitar built for lighter strings?

The medium-light tension is higher than extra-light sets, so check the maker's recommendation; older braced tops may need a lighter gauge to avoid stress.
