Product Description:
Unlock the rich harmonics and resonant depth of your acoustic guitar in open tunings with Santa Cruz Parabolic Tension DADGAD Tuning Acoustic Strings, Low Tension (12-61). Designed by the esteemed Santa Cruz Guitar Company, known for setting the gold standard in lutherie since 1976, this specialized set is meticulously engineered for the unique demands of DADGAD (Open Dsus4) tuning.

This Low Tension set, specifically formulated as "Extra Light-" with a precise 12-61 gauge, ensures optimal playability and intonation across the altered tuning. The core of these strings features Santa Cruz's innovative "Parabolic Tension" design, which accurately determines the tension and relative volume (EQ) of each string. This allows for unparalleled tonal balance and clarity, even with the varied string tensions required for DADGAD.

Crafted from premium Phosphor Bronze wound over a Hex Core, these strings deliver a warm, articulate, and vibrant sound. Each string benefits from state-of-the-art metallurgy and a micro-coating, ensuring exceptional longevity, consistent tone, and corrosion prevention by utilizing nickel and lead-free materials. With a carefully calculated total tension of 152.92 lbs, this set provides a responsive feel and powerful acoustic output perfectly suited for the DADGAD player.

Santa Cruz understands that many players prefer Low Tension strings for smaller-bodied guitars (OOO, OM, H, F Models), while Mid Tension is often chosen for dreadnoughts. This DADGAD-specific set, with its low tension and precise engineering, offers a unique solution for those exploring alternate tunings with optimal performance. Elevate your DADGAD playing experience with strings engineered for harmonious balance and lasting tone.
