Stringjoy Foxwoods FW1152 Twin Pack — 2 Sets + Free Pink Peg Winder

The Stringjoy Foxwoods FW1152 Twin Pack gives you two sets of Stringjoy's premium coated phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings — the Foxwoods Super Light — plus a free NVE Pink Peg Winder. Two sets means you always have a fresh backup ready. The Foxwoods coated string solves the classic problem of coated strings — you get the extended life without the muffled, plasticky tone that has frustrated players about coated strings for years.

Angkor Music — Why Stringjoy Is Different

Coated strings have always been a compromise for players who value tone — the coating extends life but dulls the brightness and harmonic complexity that makes a fresh uncoated string sound so good. Stringjoy's Foxwoods series challenges that compromise directly. The enamel coating they use is engineered specifically to protect without dampening — the result is a coated string that genuinely sounds bright and lively rather than muffled. Add Nashville craftsmanship, a tinned hex core for tuning stability, and 2 to 3 times the play life of an uncoated string, and the Foxwoods makes a compelling case as the smart player's coated string choice.

Stringjoy Foxwoods — Coated Phosphor Bronze Done Right

Stringjoy was founded in Nashville in 2014 with a simple premise — make better strings by controlling every step of the manufacturing process and refusing to cut corners on materials. The Foxwoods Coated series is their answer to the question every serious acoustic player eventually asks: can I have extended string life without sacrificing the tone I love from uncoated phosphor bronze?

Bright and Lively — No Muffled Tone

The most common complaint about coated strings is that the coating dampens the natural resonance of the string — producing a tone that is fuller and warmer than a dead uncoated string but noticeably duller than a fresh one. Stringjoy engineered the Foxwoods enamel coating specifically to eliminate this dampening effect. The coating sits on the string without filling the gaps between the wire winds that allow the string to vibrate freely — preserving the chime, harmonic complexity and brightness that phosphor bronze is valued for.

Extended Life — 2 to 3 Times Longer

The enamel coating creates a protective barrier against the primary causes of string degradation — skin oils, sweat and environmental moisture. Uncoated strings corrode from contact with the winding wire, causing roughness, tonal deadness and pitch instability. The Foxwoods coating prevents this corrosion, extending the usable life of the string by two to three times compared to an equivalent uncoated set. For players who change strings every four to six weeks, a coated string can push that interval to twelve weeks or more without tonal compromise.

Tinned Hex Core — Tuning Stability and Mechanical Bond

The core wire of a string is the foundation on which the wrap wire is wound — and its quality directly affects both tuning stability and longevity. Stringjoy uses a tinned hexagonal steel core on the Foxwoods series. The hexagonal shape provides a stronger mechanical bond between the core and wrap wire than a round core — preventing the wrap from loosening or slipping over time. The tinning of the core adds a further layer of corrosion resistance from the inside out, ensuring the string maintains consistent performance throughout its extended life.

Nashville Made — USA Quality Control

The Foxwoods strings are wound in Nashville, Tennessee in Stringjoy's own facility. Nashville is the centre of American acoustic guitar culture and Stringjoy's proximity to that world is reflected in their string design — these are strings made by people who understand what acoustic players demand. Every set is wound with meticulous attention to detail and quality control that mass-production facilities cannot replicate.

NVE Pink Peg Winder — Free With This Pack

The NVE Peg Winder in pink is included free. For acoustic players the notched bridge pin end is an essential tool — it pulls bridge pins cleanly without damaging your bridge or the pins.

  • Fast String Winding: Wind strings to tension in seconds not minutes

  • Universal Fit: Fits all standard tuning pegs on electric, acoustic and bass guitars

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge are the Stringjoy Foxwoods FW1152 strings?
The FW1152 is a Super Light set gauged .011 .015 .022w .030 .042 .052. The .011 top string provides comfortable tension and easy bending — lighter than standard light (.012) and well suited to fingerstyle, singer-songwriter and players who prefer a more responsive feel. The wound third string (.022w) at this gauge adds warmth and complexity to the G string that a plain third does not provide.

How does the Stringjoy enamel coating differ from Elixir's polymer coating?
Elixir uses a polymer tube coating that surrounds the entire string — effective for extending life but widely noted for a slightly muffled or plasticky feel and tone compared to uncoated strings. Stringjoy's enamel coating is applied differently — it protects against corrosion without filling the interstitial spaces between the wire winds, which are what allow the string to vibrate with full harmonic complexity. The result is a coated string that sounds and feels closer to a fresh uncoated string than Elixir or other polymer-coated alternatives. This is the core of Stringjoy's claim — and in our experience at Angkor Music it holds up.

How much longer do coated strings last compared to uncoated?
Stringjoy rates the Foxwoods at 2 to 3 times the life of an equivalent uncoated phosphor bronze set. For a player who normally changes strings every four to six weeks, this suggests an interval of eight to eighteen weeks before tonal degradation becomes significant. Individual results vary depending on how acidic the player's perspiration is, how frequently they play and whether they wipe strings down after each session.

Is the wound third string (.022w) the right choice for this gauge?
A wound G string at this gauge adds warmth, sustain and tonal complexity to the third string — qualities that a plain third sacrifices in favour of brightness and clarity. For fingerstyle players, those who use open tunings extensively and players who want a balanced tone across all six strings, a wound third is generally the better choice. For players who prioritise single-note clarity and bright chime on the G string, a plain third may suit better — but the Foxwoods FW1152 with its wound third is the balanced choice for most acoustic playing contexts.

Are these strings suitable for all acoustic guitars?
Yes. Super Light .011 gauge strings are compatible with all standard acoustic guitars — dreadnought, orchestra, concert, parlour and 12-fret formats. The lighter tension of .011 strings is particularly kind to smaller-bodied instruments and vintage guitars where heavier gauge strings can cause unwanted stress on the top.

How often should I change coated acoustic guitar strings?
The Foxwoods coating extends string life significantly — but strings should still be changed when you notice tonal dullness, tuning instability or a rough feel under the fingers. With a coated string like the Foxwoods, the onset of these symptoms is delayed compared to uncoated alternatives, but they will eventually appear. Having a second set in your case — as this pack provides — means you can change when the time comes without delay.

Why is the peg winder especially useful for acoustic players?
The notch on the NVE peg winder levers bridge pins out cleanly and safely in one motion — preventing the pin cracking and bridge scratching that can happen when pulling pins by hand. Every acoustic player should have one in their case.
