Magma GA110 B85 0.9 Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings

Feather-Light Tension. Surprisingly Full Tone.

The Magma GA110 B85 .09 Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings are the lightest option in the Magma acoustic range, built for players who prioritise effortless playability above all else. The ultra-low tension makes fretting, bending, and chord transitions as easy as possible — while the 85/15 bronze winding ensures the tone stays warm, clear, and musical rather than thin or lifeless.

Key Features

• .09 Gauge (Super Extra Light) — lowest possible tension for maximum ease of play
• 85/15 Bronze (B85) winding — warm, balanced tone with good clarity and sustain
• High-carbon steel hexagonal core — tuning stability and consistent intonation
• Corrosion-resistant construction — extended string life in humid conditions
• Compatible with all standard acoustic guitars
• Complete set of 6 strings

Sound and Performance

At .09 gauge, these strings produce a lighter, airier tone compared to medium or custom light sets — but the 85/15 bronze alloy adds enough warmth and body to keep the sound musical and pleasing. Fingerpicking clarity is excellent, and the strings respond to even the lightest touch with immediacy. For players who use a pick, strumming feels effortless and fatigue-free even during long sessions. The tone suits folk, pop, light country, and fingerstyle playing particularly well.

Build Quality and Durability

Despite the ultra-light gauge, Magma maintains the same construction standards across the range — high-carbon steel hex core, tight winding tolerances, and a corrosion-resistant finish that protects against sweat and humidity. This means the strings hold their pitch reliably and do not go dead prematurely, which is a common issue with lower-quality super light strings. For players in India's humid climate, the corrosion resistance is a practical advantage that extends the usable life of each set.

Ideal For

The GA110 B85 is the right choice for absolute beginners who are just starting out and need the most comfortable string tension available, younger players and students with smaller hands or less finger strength, players recovering from hand or wrist strain who need minimal tension, and guitarists who prefer a very light, responsive feel for fingerpicking and delicate playing styles.

Why Magma GA110 B85 Stands Out

Super light gauge acoustic strings with quality alloy winding are rare at this price point. Most budget options in .09 gauge use inferior winding materials that produce a thin, brittle tone. The Magma GA110 B85 brings the warmth of 85/15 bronze to the lightest gauge in the range, giving beginners and light-touch players a string that is both easy to play and genuinely good-sounding. It is a thoughtful choice for anyone who wants to build confidence on the guitar without fighting their strings.
