Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The MA170S is an 80/20 Bronze Custom-Light acoustic set with gauges .010, .014, .023, .030, .039, and .047. Silk at the ball ends creates a protective layer where the strings meet the bridge, helping limit wear on the bridge and bridge plate both in use and during changes. All six core wires are tin-plated for corrosion resistance, with a build aimed at dependable tone over repeated practice and performances.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic string changes where protection at the bridge and bridge plate is a priority.
- Regular practice and performance use with the listed Custom-Light gauge set.
