Acoustic Medium 3-String Cigar Box Guitar Strings - Open D Tuning

Product Information
This is a set of 3 strings specifically for a 3-string cigar box guitar (CBG) that you want to tune in an "Open D" (D-F#-A)" tuning, a great setup slide playing. These are medium-gauge strings, meant for guitars that are going to be played more heavily or from which you want a stronger sound. For best results with reaching the desired tuning, these should be used on a CBG that has a scale length (the length from the nut to the bridge) in the 24-26" range. Much longer or shorter than that and the strings will either be too loose and sloppy, or so tight that they break before they reach the pitch.

#1 - .034" 80/20 Bronze Wound
#2 - .026" 80/20 Bronze Wound
#3 - .017" Plain Steel

This string set is formulated based on our own experimentation and what has worked on our own guitars. If you want to hand-pick specific strings in specific sizes, this may not be the pack for you. But if you are not sure exactly what you need and want a set of inexpensive strings that should work just fine for your build, this is the ticket. Please note that these strings are intended for either an ACOUSTIC CBG or one with a piezo pickup. They should not be used on a CBG with a magnetic pickup - see our special electric string sets for that.

On the subject of tuning a CBG, having a digital chromatic tuner can be a BIG HELP to get in tune, compared to tuning by ear, pitch matching or using a microphone-based tuner. We carry inexpensive digital chromatic tuners in this store (search for "tuner"), so check them out!
