Description
There’s a moment right after you swap in a fresh set where dead, muddy strings suddenly snap into focus — that’s exactly what Fender’s 60M phosphor bronze strings are chasing. This medium gauge set (.013, .017, .026, .036, .046, .056) is built for players who dig in hard, whether you’re flatpicking on stage or laying down rhythm behind a full band. The extra tension over lighter gauges means more low-end thump and projection, while phosphor bronze winding keeps the top end warm instead of harsh.
Ball-end construction makes restringing painless, so you can spend less time fiddling with your tuning pegs and more time actually playing. Tone-wise, expect complex harmonics and a balanced voice that holds up whether you’re fingerpicking quietly or strumming through a mic.
If .013 top strings feel like too much beef for your hands or your guitar’s neck, Fender makes this same phosphor bronze recipe in lighter gauges too:
- 60XL: .010, .014, .022, .030, .040, .048
- 60CL: .011, .015, .023, .032, .042, .052
- 60L: .012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .053
- 60M: .013, .017, .026, .036, .046, .056 (this set)
Quick specs:
- Phosphor bronze wrap wire
- Ball-end design
- Medium gauge — also offered in extra light, custom light, and light
- For acoustic guitar only
Keep a spare set in your gig bag — phosphor bronze won’t stay bright forever, and you’ll notice the difference the second these go dull.
