Tanglewood Guitars, renowned for their craftsmanship and innovation, have partnered with one of the world’s largest and most respected string manufacturers to create a dedicated range of acoustic guitar strings. The Custom Light .11 – .52 set has been carefully designed and road-tested over many years, ensuring a perfect balance of comfort, tone, and durability for players of all styles. Whether you’re a fingerstyle player seeking clarity or a strummer wanting warmth and resonance, these strings deliver a versatile response suitable for any performance setting.

At the heart of Tanglewood Strings lies the same passion and attention to detail that a skilled luthier brings to the instrument itself. Each string is crafted from carefully selected fine metals and premium alloys, then treated with Tanglewood’s exclusive Fibreflex™ Polymer Coating. This advanced coating not only enhances tonal character but also provides vital protection against rust and corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of the strings. The result is a set that maintains brilliance, playability, and tuning stability for far longer than standard strings.

The Custom Light gauge is thoughtfully balanced to provide a smooth playing experience. The slightly lighter treble strings allow for easy bends and articulate lead lines, while the heavier wound bass strings deliver fullness and depth, making them ideal for rhythm playing. The gauges are as follows:

* E – 1st: .052
* A – 2nd: .042
* D – 3rd: .032
* G – 4th: .022
* B – 5th: .015
* E – 6th: .011

By combining comfort with professional-grade performance, Tanglewood’s Custom Light strings embody the brand’s philosophy of delivering reliability and rich tonal character at every level. Designed for the modern acoustic guitarist, they are a dependable choice for studio sessions, stage performances, or everyday practice.
