They give a mellow phosphorus coated sound without any finger noise sliding between frets. Easy on the fingers. They're very durable, although the pick does wear off the coating where I stum; it doesn't change that mellow sound. Review: Amazing Sustain - Not only do they look cool, these are the best sounding strings I have found in 40 years of playing. The sustain on a single chord is amazing. They are bright, but not tinsly. Really good buy. ## Features - .012-.054 Light Acoustic Guitar Strings ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000AAOU10 | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,412 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #83 in Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Coated | | Brand | DR Strings | | Brand Name | DR Strings | | Coating Description | coated | | Color | Black,Bronze | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 277 Reviews | | Finish Type | Coated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00600781001519 | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Type Name | Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 22.68 g | | Manufacturer | DR Strings | | Manufacturer Part Number | BKA-12 | | Material Type | Coated | | Model Name | BLACK BEAUTIESβ„’ | | Model Number | BKA-12 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | playing acoustic guitar, particularly for musicians who prefer black coated strings for aesthetic or performance reasons | | Set Name | Black Beauties | | Sound Profile | bright, clear, articulate | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material Type | Coated | | UPC | 600781001519 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Warrantied against manufacturing defects. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DR Strings - **Color:** Black,Bronze - **Instrument:** Acoustic Guitar - **String Gauge:** Light - **String Material Type:** Coated ## Images ![DR Strings BKA-12 Black Beauties K3 Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - .012-.054 Light - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81A5bp5sXNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mellow string sound *by P***K on March 27, 2022* I'm a big fan of DR coated strings. They give a mellow phosphorus coated sound without any finger noise sliding between frets. Easy on the fingers. They're very durable, although the pick does wear off the coating where I stum; it doesn't change that mellow sound. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Sustain *by B***T on March 5, 2025* Not only do they look cool, these are the best sounding strings I have found in 40 years of playing. The sustain on a single chord is amazing. They are bright, but not tinsly. Really good buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love at first stum *by E***S on January 20, 2025* I’ll never use any other brand of string again. Unless it’s their colorful coated ones. I did a lot of research before deciding that I wanted the sound of coated, medium strings for my acoustic guitar. I definitely was willing to pay the extra $1 for black strings 🀘but they are functionally behind looking cool. High quality, I don’t constantly break my g string now and are comfortable to play. ## Frequently Bought Together - DR Strings Acoustic Guitar Strings, Black Beauties - Black Coated, 12-54 - DR Strings Acoustic Guitar Strings, Black Beauties - Black Coated, 13-56 - DR Strings Electric Guitar Strings, Black Beauties - Extra-Life Black Coated, 10-52 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10499153-dr-strings-bka-12-black-beauties-k3-coated-acoustic-guitar](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10499153-dr-strings-bka-12-black-beauties-k3-coated-acoustic-guitar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
