Acoustic Extra-Light 3-String Cigar Box Guitar Strings - Open D Tuning - D F# A

This is a set of 3 strings voiced specifically for a 3-string cigar box guitar (CBG) that you want to tune in an "Open D" (D-F#-A) tuning, a great setup for slide playing. These are lighter-gauge strings, better for instruments that aren't going to be played as heavily - or those that don't have strong, reinforced necks! For best results with reaching the desired tuning, these should be used on a CBG that has a scale length (the length from the nut to the bridge) in the 24-26" range. Much longer or shorter than that and the strings will either be too loose and sloppy, or so tight that they break before they reach the pitch. #1 - .030" Bronze Wound #2 - .022" Bronze Wound #3 - .014" Plain Steel This string set is formulated based on our own experimentation and what has worked on our own guitars. If you want to hand-pick specific strings in specific sizes, this may not be the pack for you. But if you are not sure exactly what you need and want a set of inexpensive strings that should work just fine for your build, this is the ticket.
