Product Information

Tanglewood Guitars, a brand celebrated worldwide for its dedication to quality and innovation, has collaborated with one of the world’s largest and most trusted string manufacturers to develop a string range tailored for the modern acoustic guitarist. The Medium Light .12 – .53 set has been rigorously road-tested over many years, offering a perfect balance between playability and tonal richness. Crafted to suit a wide variety of playing styles, these strings deliver the projection and resonance needed for dynamic strumming, while still offering the sensitivity and clarity demanded by fingerstyle performers.

Each string reflects the precision and artistry of a luthier’s vision for an instrument’s full performance. Made from fine metals and carefully selected alloys, the strings are finished with Tanglewood’s exclusive Fibreflex™ Polymer Coating. This innovative treatment helps resist rust and corrosion, extending both tonal integrity and lifespan. Players can expect a consistently vibrant sound, reliable tuning stability, and long-lasting durability, making these strings a dependable choice for both stage and studio.

The Medium Light gauge has been designed to strike the ideal middle ground—offering slightly more tension and volume than a lighter set, without sacrificing comfort. This balance allows players to enjoy bold, resonant bass notes alongside clear, singing trebles, making it a versatile option for guitarists who demand expressive range and responsive feel. The gauges are as follows:

* E – 1st: .053
* A – 2nd: .042
* D – 3rd: .032
* G – 4th: .024
* B – 5th: .016
* E – 6th: .012

Tanglewood’s Medium Light .12 – .53 strings are crafted for those who want both strength and nuance in their tone. They embody the brand’s ethos of reliability, comfort, and professional performance—making them an essential upgrade for acoustic players seeking a balanced, versatile string set.
