How to choose
Choose bronze or nylon strings based on your guitar type, then pick a gauge that suits your playing style.
Beginner
A newer steel-string player can start with a light gauge set like the D'Addario EJ15 or EJ16 Phosphor Bronze, which are easier on the fingers while learning. Classical guitar beginners should look at D'Addario's Pro-Arte nylon sets instead, since steel strings are not made for a classical guitar's construction.
Intermediate
Players wanting longer-lasting tone often move to Elixir coated strings, which resist the grime and corrosion that dull uncoated sets faster. Try a slightly heavier gauge, such as D'Addario EJ17, if you want more volume and fuller low end from your acoustic.
Expert
Gigging and recording players may keep several gauges on hand, from extra light D'Addario sets for fast playing to heavier 12-string sets like the EJ38 for fuller strummed tone. Change strings ahead of important sessions, and store spares in a dry place, since humidity affects unopened string packets over time.

About Acoustic Strings
Acoustic strings shape the warmth and brightness of an unplugged or plugged-in acoustic guitar, and material choice between bronze alloys and nylon changes tone significantly. Steel-string players choose bronze sets, while classical players use nylon.
This page includes D'Addario's EJ phosphor bronze and Pro-Arte classical ranges, Elixir coated strings, and sets from Ernie Ball, DR Strings and Martin across a range of gauges including a 12-string option.
