Our pioneering Phosphor Bronze acoustic guitar strings are precision wound with phosphor bronze wrap wire over a high-carbon steel core, providing tonal versatility suitable for all acoustic styles and musical genres. 12-53 Light gauge strings are our most popular acoustic gauge, providing a nice balance of playability and tone.

Elmore in 15 seconds

It's the Learning Pedal...

Don't put the Elmore on your pedalboard. Seriously. It doesn’t make your tone fatter, fuzzier, or more vintagey. It makes you better.

The Elmore Pedal belongs where the magic happens—your practice space, your kitchen table, your tour van, your mom’s house. Wherever you're learning, Elmore is there to keep your hands glued to your instrument and your focus locked in.

From day-one strummers to studio pros, Elmore’s been making practice less awkward and way more fun since 2018. It’s not just a tool. It’s your practice buddy, your backstage pass to progress, and probably the most satisfying click you'll ever make with your foot (sorry, fuzz pedals).
