D'Addario NB1152 Nickel Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - .011-.052 Custom Light | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Acoustic players who take pride in their instruments will appreciate the pure, unhyped tone of D'Addario NB1152 nickel bronze acoustic guitar strings. This custom light gauge string set is designed to amplify the natural overtones and unique characteristics of your guitar for an organic sound with clear projection you can take to the stage and studio. Featuring D'Addario's proprietary NY steel cores, these strings deliver lower string breakage and greater tuning stability over time.
Product Overview
The D'Addario NB1152 string set combines premium materials with innovative construction methods to enhance your acoustic guitar's natural voice. These strings feature hexagonal high-carbon steel cores wrapped with nickel-plated phosphor bronze wire, creating a balanced foundation that lets your guitar's tonewoods shine through without artificial coloration.
The custom light gauge configuration (.011-.052) provides an ideal balance between playability and tonal depth, offering enough tension for strong projection while remaining comfortable for extended playing sessions. The nickel-bronze wrap wire enhances resonance across the frequency spectrum, delivering crisp highs, articulate mids, and warm lows that complement a wide range of acoustic guitar designs.
Unlike coated strings that can dampen your instrument's natural harmonics, the NB1152 set uses uncoated nickel-plated phosphor bronze to preserve every nuance of your guitar's acoustic properties. The round wound construction ensures smooth feel under your fingers while maximizing string-to-fretboard contact for optimal sustain and intonation.
Ideal For
- Singer-songwriters seeking transparent tone that captures every dynamic detail in recording sessions
- Fingerstyle players who demand balanced string-to-string response and clear note separation
- Performing acoustic guitarists requiring reliable tuning stability throughout long sets and varying stage conditions
- Blues and folk musicians who value authentic, uncolored tone that showcases their guitar's natural character
- Intermediate to professional players upgrading from standard bronze strings to premium nickel-bronze construction
Key Features
NY Steel Core Technology
D'Addario's proprietary NY steel cores provide 13% lower string breakage compared to standard cores, giving you confidence during aggressive playing and frequent string bending. This high-carbon steel foundation also maintains consistent intonation as the strings age, reducing the need for frequent tuning adjustments during practice and performance.
Nickel-Plated Phosphor Bronze Winding
The nickel-bronze wrap wire combines the warmth of phosphor bronze with nickel's enhanced harmonic clarity, creating a distinctive tonal signature that cuts through band mixes while retaining musical warmth. This alloy delivers extended harmonic content that brings out the best in mahogany, rosewood, and spruce tonewoods.
Custom Light Gauge Balance
The .011-.052 gauge set offers an optimal middle ground for players who find light strings too thin-sounding and medium strings too stiff. This configuration provides enough mass for full-bodied tone and strong projection while maintaining the playability needed for complex chord voicings and lead work.
Uncoated Design for Natural Resonance
By eschewing polymer coatings, these strings allow your guitar's soundboard to vibrate freely, preserving the organic acoustic qualities that define your instrument's unique voice. The uncoated design maximizes sustain and ensures that your guitar's natural balance and harmonics remain front and center.
Hexagonal Core Construction
The hex-shaped core provides maximum contact area with the wrap wire, improving energy transfer from string to soundboard while reducing the likelihood of wrap wire slippage. This construction method contributes to superior tuning stability and consistent tone throughout the strings' lifespan.
