Product Description
D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings
Your
strings matter. D'Addario's Phosphor Bronze acoustic guitar strings are
engineered to serve as the critical link between you and your guitar.
Our most popular acoustic guitar strings, EJ's are precision wound with
corrosion resistant Phosphor Bronze onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally
shaped, high carbon steel core. The result is long lasting, bright
sounding tone with excellent intonation.
Anatomy of a D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar String
Three
components of a D'Addario guitar string work together to create your
desired tone: Hex-core, outer wrap wire, and ball-end. It all starts
with the core. D'Addario pioneered the use of the Hex Core, and as the
name suggests, it is a six-sided high carbon steel core-wire. Each side
"bites" into the wire used for the outer winding, creating a tight and
consistent bond that keeps the string in tune from end to end. The final
component is a D'Addario exclusive: color-coded ball-ends that secure
the string in place at the guitar's bridge, allowing for easy string
identification and a major reduction in wasteful packaging.
Phosphor Bronze
92%
copper and 8% tin with phosphorous, introduced to string making by
D'Addario in 1974 as the first "extended life" strings. Phosphor Bronze
is synonymous with warm, bright, and well balanced acoustic tone.
Round Wound
The
most popular and universal construction, Round Wound strings deliver
the traditional textured feel most players are familiar and comfortable
with.
The Player's Choice
Ideal
for the widest variety of guitars and musical styles, D'Addario
acoustic strings are the choice of countless professionals around the
world including Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton,
Ryan Adams, and many more!
The D'Addario Difference
It
all starts with our exclusively engineered and built string winding
machines. There is literally nothing like a D'Addario string machine.
The combination of the most advanced computer-controlled winding
technology and stringent incoming wire inspection delivers unmatched
consistency, string after string, set after set. Our passion for and
