D’Addario phosphor bronze wound acoustic guitar strings are known for their warm and expressive tone. They have the richness of bronze, but with a slightly softened accent. They feature phosphor bronze wrap over high carbon, high strength hex core wires which bite into the wrap, to lock it in place and prevent slippage. This enhances string life, consistent intonation, and reliable tone.
We have the popular string gauges, and some that may be hard to find, such as EJ42 Resophonic resonator guitar strings, EJ38 Nashvill HIgh Strung string sets for Nashville tuning, and two gauges for 12-string guitar.
