Magma GA130 B85 .11 Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings

Light Touch. Full Sound. The Sweet Spot for Acoustic Players.

The Magma GA130 B85 .11 Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings are built for players who want the warmth of 85/15 bronze without the stiffness of medium gauge strings. At .11 gauge, these strings offer a comfortable, responsive feel that makes long practice sessions easier on the fingers — without sacrificing tone or volume.

Key Features

• .11 Gauge (Custom Light) — easier playability with good projection
• 85/15 Bronze (B85) winding — warm, full-bodied tone with smooth mid-range character
• Hexagonal steel core — stable tuning and consistent intonation
• Corrosion-resistant treatment — longer string life in humid environments
• Compatible with all standard acoustic guitars
• Complete set of 6 strings

Sound and Performance

The 85/15 bronze alloy delivers a warmer, more complex tone than standard 80/20 bronze — with a smooth mid-range, a present but non-harsh high end, and a solid low-end response. At .11 gauge, the strings respond quickly to both light fingerpicking and moderate strumming, making them versatile across playing styles. Chord transitions feel fluid, bends are easier to execute, and the overall playing experience is more forgiving — especially for players still building finger strength and calluses.

Build Quality and Durability

Magma winds the B85 alloy over a hexagonal steel core, which grips the winding firmly and prevents loosening over time. This ensures the strings stay in tune and maintain consistent intonation even after extended use. The corrosion-resistant coating adds protection against sweat and moisture — particularly important for players in India's humid climate — helping the strings retain their tone and feel for longer between changes.

Ideal For

The GA130 B85 is an excellent choice for beginners who find medium gauge strings too stiff and want a more comfortable starting point, intermediate players who prefer lighter gauge for faster playability and easier bending, and fingerstyle and light strumming players who want warm tone without heavy string tension.

Why Magma GA130 B85 Stands Out

Finding .11 gauge strings with 85/15 bronze winding at an accessible price is not always easy. Most budget strings in this gauge use standard 80/20 bronze, which can sound thinner and brighter. The Magma GA130 B85 gives you the tonal richness of the 85/15 alloy in a lighter, more playable gauge — a combination that suits a wide range of players and playing styles. Consistent quality, honest pricing, and reliable availability make this a dependable choice for the Indian guitarist.
