Magma GA120 B850 .10 Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings

Play More. Strain Less. The Ideal String for Every Day Guitar.

The Magma GA120 B850 .10 Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings are designed for players who want a comfortable, effortless playing experience without giving up on tone. At extra light gauge (.010–.047), these strings are easy on the fingers, quick to respond, and deliver the warm, balanced character of 85/15 bronze — making them one of the most versatile acoustic string sets available at this price point.

Key Features

• .10 Gauge (Extra Light) — lowest tension for maximum comfort and easy playability
• 85/15 Bronze (B850) winding — warm, bright, and balanced tone with excellent clarity
• High-carbon steel hexagonal core — reliable tuning stability and consistent intonation
• Corrosion-resistant construction — long-lasting performance in humid conditions
• Compatible with all standard acoustic guitars
• Complete set of 6 strings (.010–.047)

Sound and Performance

The 85/15 bronze alloy produces a tone that sits between the brightness of standard 80/20 bronze and the warmth of phosphor bronze — giving you a bright, clear high end, a smooth mid-range, and a well-defined low end. At .10 gauge, the strings respond instantly to light touch, making them ideal for fingerpicking, light strumming, and intricate melodic playing. Sustain and projection are solid for an extra light set, and the overall tonal balance suits a wide range of music styles including folk, pop, country, worship, and fingerstyle.

Build Quality and Durability

Each string is wound over a high-carbon steel hexagonal core that locks the winding firmly in place, preventing slippage and maintaining intonation accuracy over time. The corrosion-resistant construction protects against sweat and humidity — a critical factor for players across India's varied climate zones — ensuring the strings retain their tone and feel through extended use. Magma's consistent manufacturing standards mean every set delivers even tension and no dead strings out of the box.

Ideal For

The GA120 B850 is the right choice for beginners and students who are still building finger strength and need a comfortable, low-tension string to start with, players recovering from finger soreness or injury who need reduced string tension, fingerstyle and light strumming players who prioritise responsiveness and ease of play, and guitarists across folk, pop, rock, country, and worship styles who want a versatile, warm-toned string for practice, recording, or live performance.

Why Magma GA120 B850 Stands Out

Extra light gauge strings with 85/15 bronze winding are not always easy to find at an accessible price. Many budget options in this gauge use lower-quality alloys that sound thin or lose tone quickly. The Magma GA120 B850 delivers the tonal richness of the 85/15 formula in the most playable gauge available — making it an honest, reliable choice for beginners and experienced players alike. Whether you are practising at home, recording a track, or performing live, these strings hold up and sound good doing it.
